ONE lane of the busy A31 became blocked earlier today after a Land Rover towing an 18ft trailer jack-knifed.

No-one was injured in the accident, which happened close to the B3078 Wimborne Road junction shortly before 2pm, but the trailer was left blocking the eastbound carriageway.

The Land Rover became wedged between two trees in woodland at the side of the road.

Dorset Police have been called and traffic is managing to pass.

Recovery has been arranged.
