MOTORISTS heading from Southampton to Bournemouth are facing delays after a two car crash on the A31.

The crash happened after 6pm, just before Picket Post, on the westbound carriageway, causing long tailbacks, which are now reaching as far back as junction 2 on the M27.

Police are on the scene and waiting for recovery trucks to remove the vehicles, but do not expect delays to last for too much longer.

No one is believed to have suffered any injuries.
