A lorry has overturned, closing a main route in Hampshire.

The road has been closed between the B4640 south of Newbury and the A303 at Bullington with traffic being diverted.

Highways England said work was under way to recover the lorry and it hoped to reopen the carriageway at about 15:00 BST.

Drivers have been urged to allow extra journey time, re-route or delay their journey.
