A man has died after falling onto the M3 motorway from a bridge.

Police were called to the Allbrook Way bridge onto the M3 at junction 12 at 3.29am this morning after reports of a man falling onto the motorway.

Emergency services attended but the man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

A collision involving two vehicles also occurred following the incident.

A spokesperson for Hampshire police said: "The man's next of kin have been informed and are being supported by officers."

Part of the M3 was closed while emergency services attended the incident, with traffic being directed along a diversion via the slip roads.

Delays of up to 45 minutes were reported by National Highways.
