A car fire caused delays in Weymouth on Saturday afternoon.

The A354 Westwey Road was partially blocked around 3pm after the engine compartment of a car caught fire.

One crew from Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue services attended and extinguished the blaze using one hose reel jet.

Both lanes were quickly re-opened although heavy traffic was reported on Weymouth Way between Westwey Road, Abbotsbury Road, North Quay and Newstead Road.
