A MAN in his 30s is being treated by paramedics after a crash on the A130 this morning.

The collision between a car and a van at about 8am has seen two lanes blocked on the southbound carriageway just before the Rettendon Turnpike.

Three fire crews from Great Baddow, Chelmsford and Rayleigh Weir were sent to the scene.

A man was cut from his car.

A spokesman for the ambulance service says the man was taken to Broomfield Hospital, and that his injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

It has seen traffic build up between the turnpike and Howe Green.
