A major Dorset road has re-opened after a car flipped over in a crash.

The A31 is shut between Bere Regis and the Roundhouse Roundabout (Sturminster Marshall).

A spokesperson for Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue said: "The A31 between Bere Regis and the Roundhouse roundabout is currently blocked due to a road traffic collision.

"Emergency services and working to clear the road as quickly as possible but there are long delays. Please avoid the area where possible"
