A WINCHESTER man will not face any further action following a serious incident on the M3 in November last year.
The incident occurred on November 14 on the M3 Northbound slip-road at Junction 11 leading towards Winchester.
A man was seriously assaulted on the carriageway and had fled the scene to evade further injury. A 59-year-old man from Southampton was taken to Southampton General Hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries and has since been discharged after treatment.
A 21-year-old man from Winchester, was seen on the hatched markings and was subsequently involved in a collision with a vehicle. He was taken to Southampton General Hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.
Police have now confirmed that no further action has been taken against the 21-year-old from Winchester who was arrested for assault.
A police spokesperson also said that no further action has been taken against the driver who was involved a collision with the 21-year-old man.
At the time of the incident the M3 was closed for hours to allow emergency services to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The closure left hundreds of motorists trapped before police organised convoys for some to be able to leave the motorway.
