Part of the A406 was blocked for hours after an accident earlier today (Wednesday).

Two vehicles were involved in the collision shortly before midday on the slip road onto the A118 at the Ilford Interchange.

One person was injured after the Ford Focus and a yellow Peugeot Partner van crashed.

A man, reported to be 39 years old, was treated for a head injury and taken to Queen’s Hospital, Romford.

A London Ambulance Service spokesman said he was “conscious and breathing at the time”.

No arrests were made.
