The slip road closure caused some delays and congestion in the area, as motorists diverted around the crash scene.

A spokesman for Dorset Police confirmed a man had been taken to hospital following the collision.

He said: "We were called at 2.53pm with a report of a single-vehicle collision at the Jurassic Roundabout on the A354 Weymouth Relief Road.

"It was reported that the vehicle involved had overturned and was on its roof and the road was partially blocked.
