M3 traffic live: Westbound blocked near Southampton after horror crash as queues build

A serious collision on the M3 motorway near Southampton has caused significant westbound congestion, leading to delays of up to 40 minutes and several miles of traffic buildup. National Highways reported the incident occurred between junctions 12 (Eastleigh) and 13 (Southampton), with emergency services actively working on-site. Initial reports indicated all lanes were blocked, but later updates showed two lanes had reopened, leaving one lane closed. The crash involved a car and a motorcycle, and affected nearby roads including those through Twyford and Eastleigh Train Station as drivers attempted to divert around the closure. As of the latest update, delays remained around 60 minutes with six miles of congestion. Multiple emergency services, including ambulances and fire engines, were present at the scene.
