Officers from Dunmow road police unit were called at 7.30pm to the B1256 near the junction with Bramble Lane where a Ford Ka, travelling towards Great Dunmow, appears to have lost control after a manoeuvre to avoid another vehicle, left the carriageway and ended up several metres into a field.

Police closed the road for three hours while officers conducted the investigation and appeal to any witnesses or anyone with information to contact Dunmow RPU on 0300 333 4444.
