Man who jumped out of moving car on M27 this morning hospitalised with serious injuries

Emergency services were called at 1.06am this morning (Tuesday, January 6) after a man jumped out of a moving car between junction 11 and 12, prompting a three hour road closure.

The air ambulance service also attended the scene with a spokesperson confirming a doctor and a specialist paramedic “treated the patient before returning to base.”

Police have now confirmed that a 28-year-old man has been hospitalised with serious injuries as a result of the incident.

National Highways South East took to X just before 2am this morning saying: “The #M27 between #Southampton and #Portsmouth is closed in both directions between J11 and J12. This is due to a serious incident Hampshire emergency services are dealing with.”

The westbound carriageway was reopened at approximately 2.30am, with police remaining on the scene to complete “the final stages of their investigation” before the eastbound carriageway was opened.
