The incident has occurred on the M3 eastbound between junction 3 at Bagshot and junction 2, which connects to the M25 at junction 12 near Thorpe. Three of the four lanes are currently open to traffic, with the remaining lane still closed due to the collision. Recovery of the damaged vehicle is underway, and this is expected to help restore normal traffic flow more quickly.
