A CRASH has caused chaos for commuters this morning on the A13.

The incident happened at around 6am on the A13 Westbound just before the junction of the A1014, The Manorway and for Stanford-le-Hope.

There are more than five miles of queuing traffic, as the road has been partially blocked.

Emergency services remain at the scene of the crash.

It is understood at least two vehicles are involved.

 

Traffic is having to merge and pass via the unaffected lane, and due to the rush hour congestion traffic is standstill back to Bowers Gifford and where the A13 becomes the A130.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area or allow extra time for travelling.
