Station Manager Howard Midwood said: "I'd like to praise Maldon's firefighters who worked quickly and efficiently to clear the scene and make it safe.

"They worked brilliantly with other agencies to get the road open again as soon as possible. 

"With the heavy rainfall and strong winds we've experienced in parts of the county over the past few days, I'd urge motorists to take extra care when they're out and about."

Crews made the scene safe by 10.16am.
