HUGE queues of traffic snaked across Essex following a six-car pile up on the A12.

Motorists reported congestion between Brentwood and Colchester, following the smash on the London-bound dual carriageway on Tuesday morning.

Police were called at about 6.30pm and had to close one lane of the road, near the A12’s junction with the M25 at Brentwood.

A Vauxhall Astra, a Citroen Dispatch, a BMW, a Mercedes van, a Ford Escort and a Ford Mondeo were involved.

Graham Bridge, 28, a claims handler, of Heybridge Road, Ingatestone, said he was stuck in traffic for at least an hour.

He said: “You could see everyone was getting really frustrated, because no one had a clue what was going on at first.”

Nobody was hurt and no arrests were made following the crash.
