A crash has caused delays for rush-hour commuters travelling into Southampton.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary earlier said the A35 at Ashurst in the New Forest was closed in both directions following a crash at the junction of Woodlands Road shortly before 07:00 BST.

Traffic was subsequently heavy on the M271 heading into Southampton, as well the A326 Totton bypass. School bus services were also disrupted as a result.

Police said those involved in the crash had sustained minor injuries and the road has since reopened.
