A broken down vehicle was behind this morning's rush hour chaos on the A34.
Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that a blue Volkswagen Caravelle had broken down while travelling on the north bound carriageway, partly blocking one lane of the busy Newbury bound road.
The obstruction caused huge delays during this mornings rush hour traffic, with Hampshire's Highway authority reporting 14 mile tailbacks.
Police were called to the scene at 6.17am to help direct traffic flow and reported that the vehicle was recovered shortly before 8am.
All lanes of the A34 have now been re-opened and traffic is flowing normally again.
