Motorists are facing delays on a Hampshire motorway this afternoon after a car collided with the central reservation.

A BMW convertible hit the central barriers near junction 13A of the M3 at around 12.45pm, leaving the outside lane blocked.

An ambulance rushed to the scene but the female driver escaped with minor injuries.

The vehicle was left facing the wrong way down the M3 southbound after the accident, forcing the Highways Agency to enforce a rolling road block to move the car to the hard shoulder.

The outside lane was reopened at around 1.45pm.
