The A3 has reopened following a fatal collision.
A 57-year-old man from Hindhead died in the collision which took place near Liphook on Wednesday, September 24. The incident led to the Hindhead Tunnel closing southbound for 11 hours with it eventually reopening just before midnight with collision taking place around 1pm.
Police are now calling for any witnesses to come forward. A Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson said: “We are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision on the A3.
“Police were called at 1pm yesterday (September 24) to a report of a collision involving a black Skoda Kodiaq on the A3 southbound between Liphook and Bramshott Common. We attended the collision, along with emergency service partners, but sadly a 57-year-old man from Hindhead was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been notified.
At this time it is not believed that any other vehicles were involved. We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed this collision or the vehicle involved in the moments leading up to it. Anyone with information or relevant dash cam footage should call 101 quoting reference 44250432585.”
