Traffic is building up on the M11 following a pile-up.
The motorway is at a standstill south of junction seven, level with North Weald and the Highways Agency has warned drivers to expect delays of up to an hour after the multi-vehicle crash near Sheering.
Two lanes have been closed between junctions seven and eight.
