M3 Chaos: Car Fire, Broken Transporter and Ambulance Crash Bring Motorway to a Halt
Car Blaze Sparks Major M3 Closure
The M3 southbound is in total gridlock after a car burst into flames this afternoon between Junction 6 and Junction 7. Firefighters and police rushed to the scene as thick smoke billowed into a nearby housing estate, forcing the motorway to close completely.
Breakdown and Crash Add To Traffic Nightmare
But that’s not all. A broken-down car transporter is blocking a lane, causing further delays. On top of this, a smash involving a car and an ambulance near Junction 5 at Hook has piled on the misery for drivers.
Traffic Tailbacks Stretch for Miles
- Long queues are building up between J6 and J7 due to the fire.
- Drivers dodging the closed A3 near Guildford are only adding to the misery.
- Multiple incidents mean massive delays with no quick fix in sight.
Motorists are urged to avoid the area if possible as emergency crews continue to deal with the chaos. Expect extended journey times and consider alternative routes.
