POLICE were called to a major Dorset road this morning after rubbish from a skip lorry spilled over the carriageway.

One lane of the A31 eastbound at the Avon Heath Country Park roundabout is blocked as a result of the incident. No one was injured.

A spokesperson from Dorset Police said: "One lane is blocked by loose rubbish, which is on the verge and on the surface of the road.

"It will reopen when the lane is clear."
