MOTORISTS using the M27 are facing long delays this afternoon following a crash involving nine cars.
The cars all came off the motorway in hazardous driving conditions on the westbound carriageway between junctions five and seven at West End shortly after 12.30pm.
Two lanes of the motorway had to be closed for the vehicles to be recovered, leading to three miles of queuing traffic.
Seven of the cars had to be towed away from the scene. The other two could be driven away.
Nobody was seriously injured, but an off-duty paramedic attended the scene and treated two people for minor injuries.
Further west along the M27, at junction five for Eastleigh, another two cars collided, adding to delays for drivers. Nobody was injured in this collision.
