A LORRY tipped over and shed its load of gas canisters across a roundabout off the A12.
The Heijboer lorry tipped on its side at the Ardleigh Interchange at around 7pm yesterday evening, trapping a man in the cab.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the crash which left a man with serious injuries.
A spokesman for the ambulance service said a man had to be released from the lorry and he was taken to Colchester General Hospital for further treatment.
His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Drivers heading for the Clacton and Harwich A120 turn-off were diverted onto the A12 towards Ipswich.
Anyone with information can contact Stanway roads policing unit on 101.
