Long Delays Impact A12 Traffic After Multi-Vehicle Crashes

Motorists are experiencing significant delays due to multiple crashes on the A12. The first incident involved possibly six vehicles on the northbound carriageway between Colchester and Stratford St Mary, leading to road closures and delays of up to 45 minutes. Emergency services responded promptly, and while no injuries were reported, heavy congestion persisted in the area. A second crash at the Boreham Interchange near Chelmsford occurred shortly before the first, but also resulted in no injuries. National Highways East advised drivers to allow extra time for their journeys as the situation was being managed. The full details of the incidents are still being clarified by authorities.
