A lorry was involved in a three-vehicle crash on the M3 that closed two lanes this lunchtime.

The articulated lorry was in a collision with a Peugeot and a Toyota between junctions 8 and 7 just after 1pm today (Tuesday), police have confirmed.

A woman received minor injuries, but was treated by paramedics at the scene.

The two closed lanes have since reopened, according to traffic service ROMANSE, although delays remain.

Traffic maps also show heavy traffic on the A30 close to Junction 7 as motorists divert around the crash site.

At its worst, there were delays of up to 35 minutes on the M3, which backed up past Junction 8 (A303/Popham).

There were also 20-minute tailbacks onto the M3.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: "We were called out to an incident at 1.07pm this afternoon (11 May) following reports of a three-vehicle collision on the M3 Northbound carriageway between Jct 7 and Jct 8.

"An artic lorry, a Peugeot and a Toyota have been involved in a collision.
