A broken down lorry caused delays for drivers on the A12 during the rush hour.

The broken down vehicle was stuck near to the Marks Tey junction from around 8.30am on Thursday. 

There were around six miles of queues on the Londonbound carriageway back to the Jobserve Community Stadium.

Commuters were advised to avoid the area if possible, with the vehicle being cleared from the road at around 10.20am.

Delays soon eased on the southbound carriageway.
