AN OVERTURNED lorry is causing traffic chaos on a major road this afternoon.
It is believed the lorry fell on its side after trying to turn at a junction and has collided with a car on the A326 Marchwood-By-Pass.
The road is currently closed both ways at Jacob’s Gutter Lane between the Totton and Marchwood traffic lights with traffic tailing back to the A35 Totton-by-pass.
A spokesperson for Hampshire Police confirmed that no one was seriously hurt and said they were called to the scene just after 2.20pm.
One driver told the Daily Echo: “It looks like it’s just got a lot of rubbish inside and it’s knocked over a street lamp as well.”
A spokesperson for Hampshire Fire and Rescue said: “We were called just after 2.20pm to Jacob’s Gutter Lane near Rushington roundabout to a collision between a private white car and an overturned articulated lorry. Nobody was trapped and our crew is now leaving the scene and handed over the incident to the police.”
One witness told the Daily Echo that they believed the driver of the lorry had been taken to hospital.
The lorry was returned to an upright position at around 6pm.
