MOTORISTS are facing delays this morning after a number of incidents on a Hampshire motorway.

A crash on the M27 at junction 7, Hedge End, has sparked 30 minute delays on the westbound carriageway.

The accident has now cleared and moved to the hard shoulder but the queues stretched back to junction 11.

A broken down lorry in the middle lane between junctions nine and eight also caused drivers problems.

By 8.30am, there was also a crash on the eastbound carriageway near junction eight, which caused delays for motorists heading towards Fareham and Portsmouth.

A later crash between junction five and Rownhams Services on the westbound carriageway, involving a lorry and a car, added to the delays.

Police arrived on the scene of that incident around 9.25am.
