ONE of the main routes into Wimborne was closed this afternoon after two cars crashed.
The road was shut in both directions after the crash at Canford Bridge.
Police said that a black Land Rover and a silver Honda Jazz collided and one of the vehicles also struck the bridge shortly before 12pm.
One driver was checked over by an ambulance crew after complaining of chest pains, but there are not thought to be any serious injuries.
Fire crews from Poole and Wimborne were called to help release a casualty from one of the vehicles.
The road reopened at 1.5pm after the vehicles are recovered and the bridge was checked by a structural engineer for any damage.
