A CRASH caused big queues on the A31 for the second time today.

The crash happened between Picket Post and Stoney Cross, blocking one of the eastbound lanes.

Traffic was also slow westbound.

Thirty minute delays and a four-mile queue were reported.

The road is now clear, but traffic remains very slow from Ashley Heath and westbound into Ringwood.

Earlier this afternoon, a four-vehicle crash at Poulner Hill caused long tailbacks on the road.
