As reported, three lanes on the westbound side of the motorway, between junction nine for Park Gate and junction eight for Bursledon, were closed as a result of the incident, that took place at around 7.40am.

At 9.30am National Highways said: ‘All lanes are now open and the scene is clear.

‘Delays remain but these will start to clear now. Thanks for your patience. Have a safe onward journey.’

Earlier this morning traffic monitoring system Romanse said: ‘M27 westbound – three lanes remain closed due to multi-vehicle RTI between J9/A27 Park Gate and J8/A3024 Bursledon, approx 40 minutes delay heading back towards J11/A27 Fareham.’

The incident was also causing tailbacks elsewhere due to diversions
