A three-vehicle crash left the A31 partially blocked during Monday's evening rush hour.
The crash, which occurred between 6 and 7 pm on Monday (2), left the road blocked in both directions, though police later opened one lane to allow traffic to pass.
The incident near the Corfe Mullen roundabout led to slow traffic between Sturminster Marshall and Wimborne, Dorset County Council's highways team reported.
Fire and ambulance crews attended, but only minor injuries were reported, and all emergency personnel had left the scene by 7.30 pm.
