Six ambulances and five critical care units were at the scene on Sunday afternoon, according to South Central Ambulance Service.

National Highways said the crash was “major”, resulting in “a serious injury”.

It reported “severe” delays on the closures in both directions – in part due to broken down vehicles in the queues.
