TWO crashes are causing delays on major Hampshire roads this morning.

Two motorists have been taken to hospital following a smash on the northbound A34 near WInchester.

Police were called to the scene, near the Kings Worthy junction, at around 7am, following a collision between a red Honda Civic and a silver Vauxhall Zafira, which left the road partially blocked.

Motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible.

Police were also called to a single-vehicle incident on the northbound M3 shortly after 7am this morning.

Reports suggested one lane was blocked by the crash, between Junction 9 for the A34 at the Winnall Roundabout near Winchester, and Junction 8 for the A303.

The scene has now been cleared and it is not thought anyone was seriously hurt.
