The road, one of the main routes through Leyton in east London, remains shut as investigators work at the scene. Drivers are being advised to avoid the area and to allow extra time for journeys while the closure is in place.

Bus passengers on routes 69 and 97 should check for diversions before travelling and allow extra time. The closure affects a stretch of the A112 through the heart of Leyton, a route used by thousands of commuters each morning.
The closure comes on a morning of disruption on London’s roads. Earlier this week, a crash in Ilford closed a road in both directions for almost eight hours while police investigated, and 19 planned closures are taking place on the M25 between Friday and Monday.
