A man has died after the car he was driving was involved in a crash with a lorry in Hampshire.

The 51-year-old man, from Christchurch, Dorset, was driving a silver Peugeot 107 when it collided with the lorry on the A326 in Totton, at the junction with Monkton Lane, at about 03:15 BST on Thursday.

His family has been informed.
