A12 reopens several hours after 'serious' crash
Stuart Woodward/BBC A major road has reopened after a "serious" crash early on Sunday evening.
The collision took place on the A12 between junctions 18 at Sandon and 19 at Boreham, near Chelmsford.
The road was closed for about 10 hours, with the southbound carriageway only reopening at about 06:00 GMT on Monday.
Essex Police was on the scene at 18:15 and said the closure was needed so emergency services could carry out a "thorough investigation".
National Highways East tweeted at about 06:00 to say "collision clear-up work" was complete and both carriageways had fully reopened.
Police appealed for anyone with more information or dashcam footage to come forward.
