MOTORISTS faced delays of up to an hour on the A338 Spur Road following a two-vehicle crash.

The crash occurred on the southbound carriageway near Blackwater.

It involves a white VW Scirocco and a brown BMW 330d.

It was reported to police at 8.33am.

The road remains partially blocked.

No one is believed to have been injured.

One motorist said: "It took me an hour to get from Christchurch Hospital even onto the Spur Road as the traffic was completely solid all the way, meaning I was around 40 minutes late for work.

“We heard on the radio that traffic approaching Blackwater junction from the Hurn/Matchams direction was also queueing for an hour.

“It was very frustrating to see, when we eventually drew level with the flashing lights, that it was just a single police car and a few cones causing the hold-up – the accident looked to have been all cleared away."

The local authority was made aware due to fuel on the road.

All lanes were reopened just after 12pm.
