A CRASH involving three cars happened outside Asda in Bournemouth this afternoon.

Police, ambulance, and fire crews were called to St Paul's Road at around 1.45pm.

The crash involved a silver Vauxhall Astra, a black Ford Fusion, and a green Chevrolet.

One person was trapped inside their car and had to be freed by firefighters.

However, everyone involved received minor injuries only, according to a spokesperson for Dorset Police.

Meanwhile, Asda shoppers were unable to get out of the supermarket's car park while emergency services dealt with the incident.

One customer described it as "gridlock" and said he was trapped in the car park for around an hour.

Paramedics took the casualty to hospital, and the road was re-opened just before 3pm.
