A MAN was taken to hospital suffering from suspected concussion after the car he was driving collided with a tree on Tuesday evening.

Police were called to the B3081 between Verwood and Cranborne at around 5.10pm after the blue Ford Escort hit a tree and went into a hedge.

The man initially went home, but an ambulance was called when it became apparent he was unwell, and he was taken to Poole Hospital.
