MOTORISTS faced rush hour chaos tonight after an accident on a busy stretch of Hampshire motorway.
Drivers heading northbound on the M3 were stuck in lengthy tailbacks after all three lanes of the motorway had to be closed.
A section of the northbound carriageway at junction twelve, near to Chandler's Ford, was closed at about 4.30pm following a collision between two cars, a Rover and a Citroen.
It was unclear whether anyone had been seriously injured in the crash.
The northbound carriageway was eventually re-opened by 5.30pm.
