The AA traffic planner has confirmed that the cause of the M3 closure is due to a collision involving multiple vehicles.

The M3 has been partially closed between junction 11, Winchester, and junction 12, Eastleigh, westbound as a result of a serious collision which is being attended by Hampshire police officers and fire services. The AA has confirmed that multiple cars are involved in the incident and a diversion has been put in place to try and reduce delays.
