A Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary spokeswoman confirmed that the crash involved three vehicles. She said: “Police were called at 7.47am to reports of collision at junction of the M27. The collision involved three vehicles. No injuries were reported.”

There was also queuing traffic on the A3 northbound this morning, between Clanfield and Waterlooville, which was caused by a broken down vehicle. Traffic congestion has now eased in that area.
