A ROAD was closed in North Dorset this morning following an accident involving three vehicles.

Police were called at around 7.30am to reports of a three vehicle collision, near the Tesco roundabout where the A350 and A354 meet.

The road was reported to be "completely blocked" but was re-opened at 8.37am.

The A350 was closed in Blandford Forum and traffic queued between the A354 and the Littleton Drove junction.

A diversion was in place via Park Hill towards the A354 at Thornicombe.

An ambulance service spokesman said that that a 19-year-old man suffered leg injuries.

He was taken to Poole Hospital but the injuries are not serious.

Recovery had been requested for the vehicles but a police spokesman said they had managed to move them so this has been cancelled.
