Vehicle being recovered from M27 after accident

Traffic is currently moving slowly between junction 5 and junction 4 heading westbound following the earlier incident.

A vehicle has now been moved into the roadworks section to ease the flow of traffic and ensure safety.

‘Westbound - Slow between J5/A335 Eastleigh and J4/M3 due to recovery taking place after an earlier RTI which has been moved into the roadworks section,’ Romanse posted on Twitter.
