MOTORISTS are facing delays this morning after a crash on the M27.

The incident happened on the eastbound carriageway between junction eight for Bursledon and the bridge over the Hamble River at about 7.30am.

Travel information service Romanse says that the vehicles have now been cleared to the hard shoulder but traffic is still "very slow".

A map shows slow traffic as far back as the link road with the M3.

It is not known if anyone has been hurt in the crash.
