RUSH-HOUR traffic was delayed due to a one-car crash on the A338 Spur Road this morning.

Part of the southbound carriageway was blocked near the Blackwater junction after a silver Peugeot span out of control and struck the central reservation at 8.40am.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said there are not thought to be any serious injuries and that traffic was able to get past the vehicle with caution.

The road is now clear.
