Chaos on the A34 this morning as a four-vehicle pile-up shut both northbound lanes just after Winnall Roundabout around 9.45am.
Lorry Driver Freed by Fire Crews
Firefighters from Romsey and Eastleigh raced to the scene. Using cutting gear, they freed a trapped lorry driver by removing the vehicle’s door. Emergency services quickly shut the northbound carriageway to manage the crash aftermath.
Massive Tailbacks and Slow Traffic
Queues are building fast on the M3 northbound as drivers check alternative routes. Meanwhile, traffic crawls on the A34 southbound as onlookers slow down to watch recovery teams at work.
Recovery Slowed by Fuel Spill
Recovery experts and Highways England teams are clearing the wreckage. They’ve reopened one northbound lane but a large fuel spill has hampered progress, delaying a full reopening.
Motorists are warned to expect delays and consider avoiding the area until the cleanup is complete.
