A PERSON has been injured following a crash on the M3 near Hook.

The crash happened just before 10.30am on Saturday, December 30, on the M3 Eastbound between J5 Hook and J4A near Farnborough, and resulted in an oil spillage.

Two of the three lanes were closed on the motorway for several hours, which caused significant delays and traffic reportedly trailing back four miles.
