FIREFIGHTERS were called to assess a dangerous structure after a car crashed into a building last night.

Emergency services were called to a property on the B3072 Manor Road in Verwood just before 9pm.

A Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue spokesman confirmed a car had hit the side of a building causing some structural damage.

Some electricity cables were also damaged during the incident.

Both the Southern Electricity Board and a building control officer from the local authority attended the scene to assess the damage.

A spokesman for the fire service said the scene was made safe and there are no concerns about the safety of the building.
