An OVERTURNED lorry has led to a major Hampshire road closing while emergency services deal with the incident.

The slip road off the A34 towards the A303 Basingstoke is closed following diesel spilling on to the carriageway.

Diversions are currently in place, with the slip road northbound towards Andover being open, as is the A303.

The closures are likely to be in place for a few hours as the road will need to be cleared.

Police are working with the Highways Agency to lift the closures as soon as possible however the priority is ensuring the road is safe for motorists.

It is reported that two people have suffered minor injuries.
