The air ambulance has landed on a major motorway in Hampshire following a "police led incident".

Traffic was held on the eastbound carriageway of the M27 between Junction 10 for Alton and 11 for Fareham on Saturday afternoon, January 28.

Drivers using the westbound stretch between Junction 11 and 12 were also stopped so the helicopter could land safely. The road has since reopened in both directions.

Eyewitnesses said multiple ambulances were at the scene with a dozen police officers on a bridge over the motorway.

National Highways has thanked motorists for their patience.
