A HAMPSHIRE motorway was blocked after a rush-hour crash - for the second time in a day.

Two lanes of the M27 westbound were closed after the crash, which happened at about 5pm near West End.

The lanes have since reopened but traffic was being reported as far back as junction nine and motorists are warned to expect delays.

Drivers were stuck in queues for up to an hour this morning after a crash near junction five on the westbound carriageway at about 7am.
