AN ACCIDENT involving two vehicles partially blocked a Dorset road.

Police were called at 5pm to a road traffic collision on Higher Shaftesbury Road in Iwerne Minster, north of Blandford Forum, at the Boyne's Lane junction.

The vehicles involved were a white Mercedes Sprinter panel van and a grey BMW, both registered to local keepers.

An ambulance was called, but a spokesman for Dorset Police said that this was "precautionary" and that there were no reported injuries.

One vehicle was recovered from the road.

Police left the scene at 7.13pm.
