One side of the A12 came to a standstill this morning after a five car collision.

The London-bound carriageway of the road was blocked after a blue Peugeot 206, a blue BMW 320, a white Ford Fiesta, a black Renault Clio and a white Citroen Berlingo were in collision near the Witham North slip road at around 7.30am.

A police spokesman said there appeared to be no serious injuries.
