POLICE were forced to put a rolling road block in place on the A12 this afternoon to recover a huge piece of rock from the carriageway.
Sergeant Colin Shead, who works with the Roads Policing Unit, worked with other officers to prevent the hefty stone from causing an incident.
The road block was in place between junction 18 at Danbury and junction 19 at Chelmsford and has now been cleared.
