Coach passengers are pictured waiting on the edge of the M3 as police dealt with the ‘bomb scare’
Last week, drivers who were stuck in stationary traffic for nearly 12 hours were forced to abandon their cars as a major UK motorway was closed over a bomb scare for the second time in a week.
The M3 was shut down in both directions from junctions nine to 11 in Hampshire at 4am today after police were called to a ‘serious incident’ near a footbridge between junctions 10 and 11.
A motorist caught up in the miles of stationary traffic said a police officer had described the hold up as a ‘bomb scare’.
