MOTORISTS face major delays this evening following a collision on a major Hampshire road.

One lane is closed on the A31 westbound between Stoney Cross and Picket Post following a collision at around 5.30pm.

Police are currently at the scene where a Mercedes has gone down a bank and ended up on its roof.

Two fire crews from Burley and Lyndhurst have been called to make the scene safe.

Traffic is reported to be queuing back all the way to the M27 as emergency crews work at the scene.
