A35 blocked as tractor overturns in crash with car

The vehicle was overturned on the right-hand lane of the A35 Puddletown Bypass causing the road to be blocked for around 30 minutes at around 8pm.

Four police cars were called to the scene of the crash, before the Athelhampton turn off towards Dorchester.

A witness said: “I was stuck there for over half an hour and I think four police cars were there.

“It is reported that the tractor overturned.
