Marks Tey Accident Update — A reported crash has transpired on the A12 near Marks Tey, Colchester, with the occurrence expected to cause disruption for motorists travelling through the area. Details surrounding the collision remain limited at the time of reporting.
Marks Tey is situated beside the A12 at Junction 25, where the major route connects with the A120 and B1408. The junction serves traffic travelling between Colchester, Braintree and surrounding communities, making it an important route for local and through traffic.
Information currently available does not establish the exact circumstances of the indicated collision. The number of vehicles involved has not been verified, and there is currently no affirmed information regarding injuries resulting from the event.
The crash may affect motorists using the A12 around Marks Tey, particularly if emergency services need to restrict lanes while responding to the scene. Drivers approaching the area are advised to reduce their speed, maintain a safe following distance and follow directions from police, highways personnel and emergency responders.
The A12 is a major road through Essex, carrying significant volumes of traffic between London, Colchester and destinations farther north, including Ipswich. Any restrictions resulting from a collision can therefore lead to delays, particularly during busy travel periods.
A separate situation was reported earlier today near Junction 28 at Brook Street Roundabout, where a lorry reportedly overturned. That location is several junctions north of Marks Tey, and the two incidents should not be treated as the same crash without confirmation from authorities.
At the time of reporting, there is no verified fatality connected to the Marks Tey event, while information about possible injuries remains unavailable. Emergency services may continue working at the scene, with officers assessing the circumstances and recovery crews potentially dealing with damaged vehicles.
Authorities are expected to give further information as their response continues. Motorists travelling through Marks Tey and toward Colchester should allow additional time, remain alert to changing traffic conditions and keep access clear for emergency vehicles.
