A HAMPSHIRE motorway was blocked after a crash involving a car, a van and a lorry.

Three lanes of the M27 westbound were shut following the collision, which happened between Rownhams services and junction three for the M27 at about 8.30am.

Severe delays were building on the M27 with disruption being reported as far east as North Stoneham and on the M3 southbound slip road.

The vehicles have been cleared from the road and traffic has returned to normal in the area.
