THERE were long traffic queues on the A31 this afternoon following a collision near Ringwood.

The three vehicle crash occurred in the westbound lane at the Shobley/Linford turn off at around 1.10pm, with traffic backing up behind as far as Stoney Cross.

One lane was blocked, and there was also considerable traffic eastbound due to drivers slowing to look at the crash, stretching back to the Ashley Heath roundabout.

No one was injured in the collision, and the road was not closed. The vehicles were cleared by 2.30pm.
