Lorry crash shuts M3 northbound near Winchester

A stretch of the M3 is shut after an HGV crashed and spilled fuel across the motorway.

The motorway is closed northbound near Winchester between junction nine for the A34 and junction eight at Popham and the A303.

National Highways said the lorry struck the central reservation at about 01:00 BST rupturing its fuel tank with about 300 litres of diesel poured across the carriageway.

The motorway needs to be resurfaced and is expected to remain closed through the morning rush with traffic being diverted off at junction nine and on to the A34 at Newbury, National Highways says.
