Traffic congestion on the A12 has eased following a three vehicle collision earlier today.

Motorists faced delays near Stratford St Mary following the incident.

The crash led to queues of up to five miles earlier this morning.

The incident happened on the southbound carriageway near junction 30 just before Stratford St Mary shortly after 8am.

Nobody was injured in the collision but debris from the vehicles was strewn across the road.

As a result of this the road was partially closed, resulting in heavy congestion.

The wreckage has since been cleared from the road but drivers still face delays following recovery work.
