A POLICE car crashed into a fence and posts at a Dorset pub in an early morning collision in the snow.

The Dorset Police control room received a report at 6.08am of the single-vehicle collision in Cranborne Road.

There were no reports of any injuries but the vehicle remained off the road and recovery was arranged for later in the day when the road conditions improved.

Why did coastal Dorset miss out on the snow?

Emergency services were also called to two other crashes this morning which were believed to be weather-related.

The A35 was closed at Bere Regis due to a serious collision and flooding and a sliproad near Upton Country Park in Poole was also blocked.
