Two people needed medical treatment when a car ended up on its roof after reportedly skidded on black ice in Thaxted this morning (Friday).

The car was travelling on Walden Road and emergency crews were called to scene just before 7.30am.

A man and a woman were given first aid by firefighters. Nobody was trapped in the vehicle.

It was one of a number of accidents on the roads.

Ashdon Road in Saffron Walden was partially blocked in both directions, near Elizabeth Way, following a single vehicle collision.

And the B1039, between Wendens Ambo and Chrishall, near Little Bury Green Road, was blocked after a multi-vehicle accident.

All roads are now clear.
