A MAN has been taken to hospital this morning after a car overturned in North Dorset. 

Police were called to reports of a crash on the A354 Salisbury Road at Pimperne at 5.37am.

The ambulance service reported a blue Seat Ibiza had rolled and landed on its roof.

Officers closed the road between Thickthorn Cross and Salisbury Road roundabout at Blandford while emergency services dealt with the incident.

The local authority attended to deal with some oil on the road but closures have since been lifted.

The driver of the Ibiza, a man aged in his 20s and from Verwood, sustained cuts to his face and was taken to hospital for treatment.
