THERE were delays on the A31 this morning due to two crashes heading westbound.

The first crash blocked a lane near Cadnam, with the second at Poulner Hill near Ringwood also causing delays.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Police said: "We were called at 8.06am to J1 of the M27 to reports of a four vehicle collision westbound.

"We have a Vauxhall, a Ford, a VW Golf, a Ford Transit van."

Just after 9.30am, the Highways Agency said all lanes were open and delays were starting to clear.
