Three people were taken to hospital following reports of an incident involving a vehicle outside a Tesco in a village in Hampshire.
Police are at the scene of an incident involving a car outside the Bursledon supermarket.
Emergency services said two people were seriously injured in the incident on Wednesday afternoon.
Paramedics said they were responding to reports of a “collision” outside the Tesco supermarket and took three people to hospital by ambulance.
An eyewitness to the incident told ITV Meridian she believed someone got trapped under a vehicle in a disabled parking lot.
Charlie Derrick was at the Tesco Extra store this afternoon and described seeing the aftermath. She said, “I had just left the store and when I came out a lady ran by asking people to call the doctors.
“I saw a few police cars arriving at the scene, and then the staff began to barricade the doors of the store, asking people to exit through the entrance. They were closing the store.

“I have a disabled child and I was parked in the disabled bays, which is quite close to where the incident happened.
“There was a lady under a vehicle and the area was being cleaned up. I was asked to back up my vehicle so that the firefighters could enter. Emergency services were there within minutes.
