Three people have been killed in a multiple-vehicle crash near Andover.
Emergency services were called to the serious incident on the A303, just over the Wiltshire border, at around 8.40am yesterday morning (25 August).
A Vauxhall Astra, a Mercedes food delivery van, a heavy good vehicle (HGV) and a DAF recovery truck were all involved in the pile-up which saw three lives lost.
Those killed were travelling in separate vehicles, with the HGV driver arrested at the scene.
The 38-year-old lorry driver, a man from Shropshire, was arrested on suspicion of driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs and causing death by dangerous driving. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
The road was closed for around 20 hours whilst a collision investigation and recovery work was undertaken.
DC Cate Paling said: “We are keen to speak with anyone who witnessed the collision, or the moments leading up to it, particularly anyone with dash cam footage.
“In the immediate moments after the collision, a small white car with a black roof passed the scene and we believe they may be an important witness who we wish to speak with.
“Anyone who can assist our enquiries should call 101, quoting the reference 44210338980.”
