Collision between Basingstoke and Dummer causes heavy delays

One lane remained blocked between Junciton 6 of A339 and Junction 7 of A30 Dummer following the collision, which caused heavy congestion on roads.

But all lanes have been reopened now and the congestion is starting to ease.

According to Romanse, the travel update account for Hampshire County Council, there was a heavy delay of approximately 35 minutes backed to Junction 5 of A287 in Hook, just after the crash.
