Sounds horrific. Lots of reports that a car hit concrete barriers on the bridge over the M3, then launched onto the carriageway.
I imagine that will take some clearing up.

I went past the other way about 7pm, did not look good, firemen working with screens up
They were closing the motorway further up and starting to turn vehicles around

Blimey, looking online at the times reported i must have missed that by about 5 - 10 minutes. I was only reading about a similar incident on the M6 earlier in the day.

I assume the bridge with the concrete barriers is the Ravenswood r/bout then? - that's been a nasty setup since they chucked a combination of cones and barriers there when they started the M3 roadworks below. People not slowing down / giving way, going too fast, ignoring the fact there's only one lane going round one side of the r/bout and gouging in to avoid clattering the cones, etc.

People are saying that the barriers weren't repaired from a previous accident in the same place a few months earlier, this car went straight through the same area frown

Correct, been sat like that for 5 months, a tragic way to lose someone, presumably heading home from work.
