Police are advising motorists to avoid the A12 in both directions between junction 13 and 14 following a road collision.

Officers are currently at the scene of the incident involving a lorry and two other vehicles. It happened at around 4.15pm today.

The lorry was travelling on the northbound carriageway and has left the road, travelled through the central reservation and ended up on the southbound carriageway. It is not believed that anyone has been injured.

The road is currently blocked in both directions. The southbound carriageway will be disrupted until the lorry is recovered. It is hoped that one lane northbound will be opened soon.
