A van somersaulted into the central reservation of the A12 after a three-car collision.
The white Mercedes Sprinter was near the Witham slip-road travelling in the direction of Hatfield Peverel when it was involved in a collision with another van and a car.
The van spun into the air, landed upside down, facing the wrong way and blocking part of the outside lane.
A police spokesman said the air ambulance had been called at about 1.15pm, but was dismissed because there were no injuries.
