POLICE have released more details this evening (Saturday, 19 February) and issued an appeal for information following this afternoon's incident on the A13 near Stanford-le-Hope when a car drove the wrong way down the eastbound carriageway and ended up being involved in a crash.

The statement from police about the incident, featured earlier today on Thurrock Nub News, says: "We are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage following a collision on the A13.

"Officers reported a silver Audi Q7 failed to stop for them on the A13 near to Stanford-le-Hope at around 12.55pm. It was then reported the vehicle went the wrong way on the A13 before being involved in a collision involving a number of other vehicles at around 1.25pm.

"Fortunately, no-one has been seriously injured.

"Two men have been arrested. A 23 year-old from Romford has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, theft of a motor vehicle, failing to stop when directed, and money laundering.

"A 31 year-old from Aveley has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop when directed, and possession of a Class B or C drug.

"They are both currently in custody.

"We need anyone who saw anything or has any dash cam footage to contact us. If you have any information you can submit a report online via this link where you can use the 'Live Chat' button to speak to an online operator between 7am and 11pm.
