Fucking hell, looks absolutely awful. Thoughts to those involved and their families, sadly sounds like some haven't made it out alive.

Travelled up on the M3 from Southampton to Camberley this morning, shocking weather, couldn't see further than 50 yards in front of me, stretch between Winchester and Basingstoke is two lanes, still had wankers racing up behind doing probably around 90mph, I had slowed to 35/40 and was still overtaking.

Some people just don't know how to drive in adverse weather conditions.

Hope these people will be ok, always bad to see accidents like this, thankfully doesn't happen too often.
