Heavy traffic on the A3 travelling northbound is causing miles of tailbacks and long delays.

Highways England is reporting at least 30 minutes of delays on the northbound carriageway between the A244 Oxshott turn off and the A309 which joins at Hook.

It is believed this is due to a broken down car.

The agency believes the delays should be dealt with by 9.45pm, but is also warning that further south between the junction with the M25 and the A245 at Cobham there are delays of around 15 minutes due to a crash that has closed two lanes.

Further south still into Surrey there are also a number of reported incidents on the northbound carriageway leading to a greater volume of traffic.
