Everyone running late because they had to de-ice their cars in the -2 degs of frost this a.m. ?

The M27/M3 were busier than normal about 7:00 this morning, but not enormously. I heard there was a fatal accident on A31 last night, but not sure where. If it was near the M27 end, they might still have it closed and the traffics backing up?

Traffic England is showing the M27 moving well in both directions.

Echo says the West Bound Slip J7 was closed at 07:40 due to an accident involving a JAAAAAAG and a people carrier!!

Good luck.

Didn't see exactly but right on the roundabout to join the MWay there was a couple of police cars with their blues flashing so looks like there was an accident or something. Took me over 30mins to do less than a mile

Motorway was very clear when I eventually joined it though!

Slip road down to the west bound carriage way was closed at junction 5. 2 cars and a lorry I think, maybe more. One car had the roof removed by the fire crew.

Westbound onslip at J7 was closed during the morning rush hour for the recovery of the vehicles involved.

Earlier this afternoon 2 lanes on the M27 were closed between 5 and 7 due to another accident which is why West End got busy again.

If you live in the area then its well worth checking Romanse before you leave as their twitter feed is always up to date:
