Police have confirmed that a man in his 60s from Emsworth has tragically died following a serious single-vehicle collision on the A27 this morning. The incident occurred near the junction for Hilsea, leading to the closure of the motorway at the M27/A27 interchange.
The motorway remains closed from Junction 12 eastbound to the Eastern Road turnoff, affecting both the M275 heading into the city and the M275 northbound. Traffic is being diverted off the A27 westbound at the Hilsea turnoff, and access to the A27 eastbound from the Portsbridge/Hilsea roundabout is restricted.
Drivers are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes as police continue their investigation into the incident.
