A CAR and a lorry were involved in a crash just off the A35 this afternoon, which caused traffic delays near Bere Regis.

The collision involving the two vehicles partially blocked Bere Road at Coldharbour, and the road was closed at its junction with Westminster Road.

The black Peugeot 307 car ended up in a ditch following the collision which occurred at 4.41pm. There were no injuries and the road has since been reopened.

The car was registered to a Weymouth man, the lorry to a Poole company.
