THE A31 at Sturminster Marshall was closed in both directions following a three-vehicle crash.

The road was closed between the Roundhouse roundabout and Coventry Arms junction, leading to delays.

Vehicles involved included a Peugeot 207, a blue Volkswagen Polo and a white Peugeot van.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said there were believed to be only minor injuries and an ambulance was not called to attend.

The road has now been reopened.
