A section of a major motorway has been closed on Sunday evening following a vehicle fire, as emergency services rush to the scene. The M3 in Hampshire is closed in westbound between J6 (Black Dam Interchange, Basingstoke) and J7 (Dummer), due to a two-vehicle collision and subsequent vehicle fire.

Hampshire Fire Service is leading the response at this stage, but other emergency services remain on scene. National Highways traffic officers are also helping with strategic closures on the approach.
