A late-night multi-vehicle crash on the A303 left the road closed, causing standstill traffic.

A crash between Thruxton and the A338 near Cholderton left the A303 westbound closed for three hours on February 18.

National Highways reported that the crash involved three cars, and emergency services were on the scene.

Drivers on the Hampshire Drivers Facebook group reported that traffic was at a ‘complete standstill’ with a ‘massive tailback.’

Recovery and collision clear-up work were undertaken before the road reopened around 11pm.

Traffic was diverted via local routes during the closure, with National Highways contractors assisting with traffic management.

We have contacted Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary for more information.
