Some train services are delayed or cancelled in south Essex this morning after a railway bridge was hit by a vehicle.
The incident happened earlier this morning and is affecting services between Rochford and Hockley.
Part of the line was closed for a short-period to allow Network Rail to carry out an inspection of the bridge, which is close to Hockley Station along Spa Road.
However, they have given the all-clear and services are running again.
Greater Anglia says delays of up to 30 minutes are expected.
