Major route to close overnight for crash repairs

Work to repair the A31 through the New Forest following a crash will see the road closed westbound overnight.

The crash involving two cars and a van happened between Stoney Cross and Picket Post shortly after 17:10 BST on Tuesday. Police said a man in his 20s suffered a serious ankle injury.

National Highways said the road would be down to one lane throughout the day with a full closure planned tonight for resurfacing.

Drivers are being warned to allow extra time for their journey or seek an alternative route.
