Portsmouth fans face delays following Millwall defeat as A3 closed because of 'police-led incident'

The A3 is currently closed in both directions near Bramshott, following a serious car crash.

The busy road, which links Portsmouth to the capital, is closed between Liphook and Bramshott Common as emergency services attend the scene. The Hindhead Tunnel was also closed.
