THE A31 was closed near Corfe Mullen after three HGVs became stuck.

Police were called at 11.20am and, on arrival, found three lorries with wide loads stuck between Roundhouse Roundabout and Lake Gates Roundabout.

They shut the road while the problem was resolved and diverted traffic via Corfe Mullen.

There were reportedly ‘severe’ delays on the A31 both ways due to the incident.

Traffic on the A350 was exacerbated by the issue.

Police cleared the road at 1.20pm.
