Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision at 10.50am, which involved a Honda CRV travelling north and a Ford Ranger pick-up travelling south on the B2070 Old Portsmouth Road, near the Black Fox Inn.

Both drivers involved had to be cut free from their vehicles by firefighters, police said.

A police spokesman said: “The Ford driver, a 64-year-old man from Hambledon, Hampshire, sustained multiple, potentially life-threatening injuries and was flown by air ambulance to Southampton General Hospital.
