One lane of the A303 is closed this morning as police continue to investigate a fatal crash in which three people died last week.

Lane one of the westbound carriageway is currently shut between the Picket Twenty (A3093) and Forton (A3057) junctions, traffic maps show.

There are currently 30-minute delays between the A34 junction.

It's the same stretch of road that was closed last week after a three-vehicle crash saw three people lose their lives.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: "There is a closure of lane one as part our ongoing enquiries into the collision in which three people died."

Traffic service ROMANSE reported that all lanes were closed, however Hampshire Constabulary said this was not the case.

A lorry driver was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving following the incident last Thursday (August 26).

Emergency services were called just after 8.40am to a report of a collision involving a Vauxhall Astra, a Mercedes food delivery van, a HGV and a DAF recovery truck.

Sadly, three people, all from separate vehicles, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The HGV driver, a 38-year-old man from Donnington, Shropshire, was arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs and causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Tributes flooded in for a recovery truck driver who was named by his company as one of the victims of the crash.

Avery Recovery, a breakdown and recovery service based in Southampton and Salisbury, announced on its social media channels that one of its employees had been involved in the incident.

The post read: "It is with utmost sadness that we confirm the tragic loss of a staff member whilst on duty yesterday.

"Tom was a highly valued colleague and friend and brought a smile and sunshine to everyone he met. He loved his job and helping people and was a truly exceptional person. It was an honour to have known him and have had him as part of the Avery family."

Senior Investigating officer DC Cate Paling said: "We are keen to speak with anyone who witnessed the collision, or the moments leading up to it, particularly anyone with dash cam footage.

"In the immediate moments after the collision, a small white car with a black roof passed the scene and we believe they may be an important witness who we wish to speak with.

"Anyone who can assist our enquiries should call 101, quoting the reference 44210338980."
