M3 reopens after lorry crash

The M3 has reopened after a lorry hit the central reservation and jack-knifed.

All lanes of the M3 northbound between junctions 5 and 6 near Basingstoke, Hampshire, were closed due to the accident at about 1000 GMT on Tuesday.

Debris from the crash also spread onto the southbound carriageway, forcing police to temporarily close lane three.

The lorry has been recovered and the motorway cleared but police have told motorists to expect delays due to the build-up of traffic.
