FANS heading to Vitality Stadium for AFC Bournemouth's match against West Ham were warned to expect delays on Boxing Day.

A three-car crash on the westbound carriageway of the A31, caused 'severe delays', said Travel Dorset.

One lane was closed as a result of the crash near the Ringwood/Fordingbridge turn off for nearly two hours.

Delays were around 30 minutes, Highways England said.

The road was fully reopened at 2.20pm.
