Drivers faced major delays after a three-car smash on a major Hampshire road.

A four-mile tailback has built up on the A31 across the New Forest.

The queues on the eastbound carriageway are after the accident, which happened one mile after Picket Post at about 3.30pm.

Two patients have been taken to Southampton General Hospital on spinal boards, but a police spokesman said no-one had suffered serious injuries in the accident.

Police had initially reported that the collision had involved four vehicles.
