A “VERY serious” collision between a car and a motorbike has closed one of Dorset's main roads.

The smash occurred on the A351 outside the Romany Works Business Park at Holton Heath, just south of the Bakers Arms roundabout, just after 12.20pm today (July 6).

It is thought the motorcycle was in collision with a white Nissan Micra close to the business park entrance.

An air ambulance was required to lift the rider of the motorcycle to hospital.

It is believed the motorcyclist has suffered serious injuries.

The stretch of the A351 between the Bakers Arms and the Holton Heath trading park roundabout is closed.

It is expected the road will remain shut for some hours while an investigation is carried out.
