THE A35 Bournemouth Road was closed after a car ended up on its roof.

The collision happened between Saint Osmund's Road and Sandecotes Road. It is reported a Renault Clio collided with a lamppost before overturning.

A male casualty was freed from the car by firefighters, according to a spokesperson for Dorset Police.

He is not thought to be seriously injured.

Police, ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene shortly before 1pm.

Traffic was queuing in the area, but a recovery vehicle was called by police to clear the car from the scene.

The road has now re-opened.
