A man has been arrested following a collision in west Dorset.

Emergency services were called to the A3066 Bridport to Beaminster road at around 10pm last night.

A two-vehicle collision took place at Crooked Oak Hill in Melplash.

The road was closed while emergency services attended, with a spokesman from Bridport Fire Station warning at the time the road would be closed for 'some time.'

A 60-year-old man from Derby was arrested on suspicion of a driving offence.

The vehicles were recovered and the road reopened at around 1am this morning.
