A police statement, issued at 7.20pm confirmed the incident. It said: "Drivers are being asked to avoid the Orsett Cock roundabout if they're on the A13.

"The London-bound sliproad is currently at standstill while officers attend to a lorry with a large load, which has become stuck at the location.

"The A13 remains running but there may be delays depending on traffic at the roundabout.

"We, and our partners, are working to resolve the issue as quickly as we can."
