Traffic has been brought to a standstill by a serious crash on the A13 tonight.
The London-bound carriageway is believed to be completely closed and motorists have taken to social media to report they have not moved for a considerable amount of time.
Witnesses have reported traffic backing up between the Pitsea flyover and the Five Bells interchange.
