ONE LANE has been blocked and there are delays building after a crash on the M3 at the Basingstoke turn off.

The crash was first reported during the morning rush hour, with traffic service ROMANSE first reporting it just 7am.

 

The incident happened on the northbound carriageway at junction 6 (A339/Basingstoke), with heavy delays heading back to junction 7 (A30/Dummer).

There is also gridlock traffic on the A339 heading towards junction 6, back to the Reading/A33 junction, whilst it is also affecting the A30 towards Hatch.

The A30 Winchester Road around Hatch Warren and Beggarwood is also seeing increased traffic as motorists leave the motorway at junction 7 to avoid the jams.

One nearby resident told the Gazette that the road, nearby the current road works section, is backed up already.

The AA is reporting that the accident has been moved to the hard shoulder.
