M27 traffic: Westbound side stopped after crash involving car and motorcycle near Hedge End in Hampshire - queues of an hour

A motorway collision is causing long delays as traffic is held.

The crash, which involved a car and a motorcycle according to National Highways, is on the westbound side of the M27 between Junction 7 for Hedge End and Junction 5 for Southampton. Emergency services are at the scene and there are delays of an hour and five miles of queues.

National Highways says that a separate incident on the other side of the motorway is now beginning to ease. It says all lanes have reopened on the eastbound side between Junction 3 for the M271 and Junction 4, the M3 junction after a “a multiple vehicle collision”.

It says there are delays of 45 minutes and four miles of congestion on the approach, though “this should start to ease”.
