A DRIVER had a lucky escape this morning when his car veered off the road.

Police were called to the A35 at the junction with the A31 near the Bere Regis roundabout at around 9.30am.

Some traffic was reported in the area while emergency services dealt with the situation.

Pictures by Purbeck Patrol Sergeant Roan Doyle show the car, a black Volkswagen Lupo, had left the road.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said they responded to a one-vehicle road traffic collision at 9.33am and that no one was injured.

Recovery was arranged for the vehicle and the road was clear by 10.30am.
