There has been a serious accident on the A31 outside Winchester. It occurred just after 7.00 a.m., when a sports car1 skidded on the wet road surface in the slow lane, and hit a cyclist2 with great force. Emergency services are at the scene of the accident, and an ambulance3 has taken the injured cyclist to hospital. He is thought to be in a serious condition. The road is still blocked, and drivers are being advised to avoid the area.
