PART of a Hampshire motorway is closed tonight after a road crash.

Police say they are dealing with a “serious collision” on the M3 northbound between junctions eight and nine at Micheldever.

It is not known how many vehicles are involved in the crash which has led to one of two lanes being closed.

A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: “We're dealing with a serious collision on the ‪M3 northbound at ‪Micheldever which has led to one of the two lanes being closed, it's likely to remain this way for some time.

“Traffic is still flowing, but is heavy. Please consider alternate routes if you're travelling northbound between junctions 8 and 9 on your way home tonight. We're working to get all lanes open as soon as we can.”
