M27 crash sparks large emergency service response in pouring rain as traffic held
A large emergency service response attended a crash on the M27 this morning in pouring rain.
A car with front-end damage was left marooned in the middle of the westbound carriageway between junction 2 and 1 around 9am.
Traffic was held as police swarmed to the scene before being joined by other emergency crews following the single-vehicle collision. No one was injured.
A force spokesperson said: “Police were called at 9.06am to a collision between junctions 2 and 1. The collision involved one vehicle. No injuries were reported.”
The incident added to heavy delays of around 40 minutes on the westbound section first reported before 7am. A lane was then closed between junction 8 and 9 after a car stalled, adding to driver woes.
