Motorists using the M3 are facing traffic chaos this morning.

The motorway is shut between junctions two and three after a fuel spillage.

It comes after an accident this morning involving a lorry and there are reported tailbacks of up to one hour.

The crash happened northbound between J3 A322 and J2 M25.

Meanwhile further south on the motorway a two car crash has shut two lanes.

The accident happened at about 6.30am southbound between junction six and seven at Basingstoke.

Two cars have been involved in an accident and one of them has left the carriageway and is on its roof.

Lanes one and two (of three) are closed.

UPDATE 8.30am: The road has been cleared and traffic has returned to normal.
