The road was closed between the A133 roundabout at Frating and the B1025 turn-off at Horsley Cross.

An Essex Police spokesman said officers from Stanway Road Policing Unit were first at the scene and blocked the road.

He described the collision as serious and said a man had sustained what are believed to be life-threatening injuries.
