TRAFFIC is slow in both directions on a busy Colchester road after a crash.

The smash, understood to have been between two cars, is affecting the flow of vehicles in Cowdray Avenue.

The crash is said to have happened close to Leisure World at roughly 2.30pm.

Delays are said to be worse going westbound, with queues up to the roundabout with St Andrew's Avenue and Ipswich Road.
