A roundabout running out of town was temporarily closed this afternoon after a car was flipped onto its roof.

Hampshire Constabulary were called just after 1pm to a report of a car overturned at Winchester Road roundabout.

Officers have attended and the roundabout was initially closed off.

They also advised people to avoid the area if possible as local diversions were in place at the time.

Stagecoach also tweeted out that the crash was blocking some of its routes.

"Due to an RTC on Winchester Road we are currently unable to serve from Winton Square to Portacre Rise on Service 1 & 4," the tweet read.

But shortly after 2pm, police said that the road had been cleared and that the vehicle was recovered.

No injuries were reported.
