Appeal following M3 collision

We are appealing for witnesses and dash cam footage following a collision on the M3 this morning.

Police were called just after 10am today (2 May) following a report of a collision between two cars near junction 6 of the northbound carriageway.

This involved a silver Ford Focus and a grey Audi A5. Minor injuries were sustained by the driver of the Ford.

The carriageway was closed until about 12.30pm and we would like to thank motorists for their patience while we dealt with the scene.

We also received further reports that the Audi had been seen using the hard shoulder, speeding and undertaking on the M3 and M27 prior to the collision.

The driver of the Audi, a 26-year-old man from London, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drink and drugs.

We would like to speak to any witnesses and anyone with relevant dash cam footage of this incident, or the manner of driving of either vehicle in the moments leading up to the collision.

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 44240183289.
