TRAFFIC was brought to a standstill on the M11 southbound, following an accident near Woodford Green.
Fire-fighters and police were called to the scene after a car hit the main central barrier.
Four fire engines attended, along with the London Ambulance Service, but the driver and passenger of the car managed to get out before the emergency services arrived and were not seriously injured.
Slow traffic is still being experienced.
