A LARGE military lorry broke down on the A31 near West Moors causing congestion and delays on the eastbound carriageway.

The breakdown, which was reported to police at around 10.45am, left the 20 tonne vehicle partially blocking the road near the golf course, bringing traffic to a standstill on the A31 down to the Canford Bottom Roundabout.

An Army recovery vehicle arrived at the scene at 1pm to remove the vehicle, while police officers marshalled the traffic.
