There’s major congestion on the A3 this evening following a serious accident near Hindhead.

The southbound carriageway between Hindhead and Liphook was closed earlier this afternoon following a collision near the former BMW garage at Bramshott Chase.

The southbound Hindhead Tunnel was also closed for a period with long queues developing.

The Herald & Post has received unverified reports that both the tunnel and carriageway are now open to traffic, but motorists have been urged to avoid the area, if possible. More follows.
