AN ACCIDENT on the M3 has led to delays after a crash involving eight vehicles, police have said.

One lane was closed on the M3 southbound road between junctions seven and eight, causing queuing traffic and delays for motorists. The collision involved eight vehicles, with three of the affected vehicles sustaining slight damage.

All lanes have now been re-opened.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: “We were called at 7:20am to reports of a crash between junctions eight and nine on the M3. There are no reported injuries, and the vehicles involved in the crash have been moved to the hard shoulder.”

This comes after a foggy morning caused trouble for motorists with poor visibility as the Met Office had issued a yellow warning for fog.

The Met Office’s warning on its website said: “Areas of fog are likely to start to form in places during Sunday evening but the main problems would appear to be more likely later tonight [Sunday night] and through the Monday morning rush hour. Areas of dense and freezing fog may lead to journeys taking longer than usual.”
