Crash Chaos on M27: One Hurt, Delays Mount
Single-Vehicle Smash Slows M27 Eastbound
Emergency crews scrambled to the M27 this afternoon after a single-vehicle collision near Portsmouth. Paramedics treated one patient at the scene before rushing them to hospital.
Injuries Not Serious, But Traffic Nightmare Looms
Thankfully, the victim’s injuries aren’t thought to be serious. Despite this, the crash triggered major tailbacks. Drivers faced up to an hour-long delay from Junction 8 (Windover) towards the crash site between Junction 9 (Park Gate) and Junction 10 (Fareham).

“We were called at 3.35pm this afternoon to reports of a single vehicle collision on the M27 between Junction 9 and 10. Minor injuries have been reported.”
