One person was trapped after a crash involving two vehicles on the A12.
All lanes have now reopened after the crash between Kelvedon and Witham earlier this afternoon (July 5), but long delays remain.
Traffic was queuing as far back as junction 24 for Feering.
Firefighters were called to the scene on the Londonbound carriageway at around 1.20pm and worked with paramedics to release one person who was trapped in their vehicle.
The person was released by 1:50pm and left in the care of the ambulance service.
The ambulance service has been contacted for comment.
