A head-on crash is blocking one of the busiest roads in Chelmsford.

There are long delays on Springfield Road on the Aldi roundabout after the crash, which happened on the junction with Pump Lane near the filter road down to the A12 at approximately 6.30am this morning.

Police and an emergency response vehicle are on the scene after the crash, believed to be a head-on crash, which then saw one of the black cars collide with the railings separating the carriageway from the pedestrian island in the centre of the road.

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: "We understand the police attended a road traffic accident at Springfield Road, Chelmsford between 6.30am and 7am this morning.

"The two men involved in the accident said they did not need an ambulance and no vehicle attended.”
