M3 Southbound Chaos: Two Lanes Shut After Crash
Two lanes of the busy M3 motorway in Hampshire have been shut this lunchtime after a smash involving a car and a van. Drivers are stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic with delays stretching back past junction 10 southbound.
Crash Blocks Outside and Middle Lanes
The accident happened just after 11:20am between junctions 11 (Winchester) and 12 (Otterbourne). The outside and middle lanes remain blocked, causing a heavy build-up of queues. Motorists face long waits as emergency teams work at the scene.
More Morning Mayhem on Hampshire Roads
This latest crash adds to the misery after an earlier collision on the A33. Hampshire Fire crews from Winchester and Eastleigh swung into action this morning, using specialist cutting gear to free two trapped people. Both were handed over to South Central Ambulance Service for treatment.
Commuters should expect lengthy delays heading south on the M3 and plan alternative routes if possible.
