Reports on social media suggested that the reason for the closure was an injured man, who had been found by the side of the road.

One witness claimed that they had helped the man and said he "did not look good".

Another witness said via social media:  "I drove up from town to charlton just after 9pm and there were two police cars parked up by the bridge, and another two cars in front of the police cars.

"Lots of people standing around something on the grass by the roadside."

Andover Police tweeted that the road was closed and asked drivers to find an alternative route.

The closure remained in place for over an hour.
