    M3 shut by police
    Check the latest travel news in Southampton

    MOTORISTS were facing huge tailbacks this morning after police closed a busy section of the M3 near Southampton.

    Officers have yet to reveal why both carriageways of the road have been shut at junction 13 saying only that it was for "police operational reasons".

    Queues were stretching several miles in both directions following the incident shortly after 6.30am.

    A spokesman said the road would be reopened as soon as possible.

    There is no truth in the rumour that an office dropped his contact lens onto the hard shoulder.

    Just who are they answerable to. Just more secret squirrel bullshit to alienate themselves to the public, thousands of motorists and their employers.

    "yet to reveal"... doesn't mean they won't.

    Why can't you be a little bit patient, get down of your soap box and calm down.

    If by tomorrow we still do not have an answer, I'll be happy to lend you my soap box so you can stand taller and shout louder.

    A man has been detained under the Mental Health Act.
