DRIVERS are facing "severe" rush hour delays on a major south Essex road this evening rush hour after reports of a crash near Sadlers Farm.

The A130 is partly blocked due to a crash between Saddlers Farm and Fairglen Interchange, according to Essex County Council's traffic control. 

This is causing long delays back to Pitsea Flyover on the A13.

AA is reporting "severe" delays with an average speed of five miles per hour.

The road is partially blocked northbound, heading towards Chelmsford.

Essex Police has been contacted for comment.
