M3 Nightmare: Car Fire, Broken Transporter & Ambulance Smash Cause Chaos
The M3 southbound is in total gridlock after a series of crashes and breakdowns today. First, a car burst into flames near a housing estate, sending thick smoke billowing through the air and sparking emergency rush hour chaos.
Car Fire Sparks Massive Tailbacks
Firefighters and police scrambled to the scene between Junction 6 and Junction 7, where the blaze shut down the southbound carriage. The closure has caused mile-long queues, worsened by drivers diverting from the closed A3 near Guildford.
Broken-Down Transporter Adds to Traffic Mayhem
As if the fire wasn’t enough, a car transporter has broken down in the same stretch, blocking a lane and snarling traffic to a crawl.
Ambulance Collides with Car Near Junction 5
More misery struck near Junction 5 (Hook), where a crash involving an ambulance and a car has piled on further delays. Emergency services are dealing with all incidents, but rush hour on the M3 southbound remains a nightmare.
