DRIVERS are facing delays this morning after a pile-up on a busy Hampshire motorway.

The four-car crash happened on the northbound carriageway of the M3 between junctions 12 and 13 at 7am and blocked the inside lane.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and one person was taken to Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester with minor injuries.

Other people were treated at the scene by a South Central Ambulance Service team leader and ambulance crew.

Traffic is slow westbound from junction 8 of the M27 and junction 3 eastbound as the two roads join.

The M3 is now clear but drivers are still experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes.
