MOTORISTS using the QE2 Bridge this morning are facing long delays after a lorry and car crashed.

Police were called to the bridge shortly after 7.50am to reports of the collision.

A woman is believed to have been injured and firefighters and paramedics are at the scene.

Three of the four lanes were initially closed.

All lanes have now re-opened but the Highways Agency estimates it will take up to 50 minutes to travel between Essex and Kent.

Traffic is currently queuing back to Junction 29 at Romford.
