THE B3082 Blandford Road was closed both ways following a crash between a car and a motorbike.

Dorset Police said the closure was between the junction with the A354 at Blandford Forum and the road to the Queen Elizabeth School near Kingston Lacy.

A spokesman said it was partly due to adverse weather conditions at the scene.

The collision, in New Road near Badbury Rings, was reported to police by the ambulance service at around 5.50pm this evening.

Recovery was arranged for the vehicles.

At 7.30pm police said the road has now re-opened. The male motorcyclist was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
