A Met Police spokesman said they were called at 7.44pm and arrested a 28-year-old man at the scene for being drunk and driving without insurance or a licence.
The London Fire Brigade and Ambulance Service were also there but said nobody was injured or had to be cut free.
Three of the four A12 lanes were closed eastbound, leaving traffic queuing right back to Leytonstone for several hours.
