A SECTION of the M3 motorway is to be closed following a lorry crash during the early hours of this morning.
All lanes of the southbound carriageway between junctions eight and nine will be closed from 10am until 1pm. Only one lane will be open between 9am and 10am.
The closure comes after an articulated lorry carrying paper came off the motorway just after 2.30am this morning at Dummer, near junction eight.
Together the police and the Highways Agency have closed the motorway to allow the recovery of the vehicle and its load of paper.
The lorry driver suffered minor injuries and had to be cut free from the wreckage by firefighters from Hampshire Fire and Rescue.
Diversions will be in place throughout this morning’s motorway closure.
