A MAJOR motorway has closed in both directions following a crash as drivers face long delays.

The M3 in Hampshire has been closed in both directions between J9 near Winchester and J8 near Basingstoke due to a collision.

National Highways said the closure was because of a “multi-vehicle collision”.

Emergency services are reportedly at the scene attending to the crash.

Motorists are being diverted and National Highways are warning drivers about the expected delays on the M3.
