Man charged in connection to crash on A35 in Morcombelake
As previously reported, a van struck a house next to Felicity's Farm Shop, opposite Star Lane, on the A35 last Saturday afternoon. The property suffered significant damage to the front wall. Emergency services were called to the scene at around noon and a man in his 40s was taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries.
He was later arrested on suspicion of driving offences. Police have now said Daniel Wojtasiak, aged 42, of Weston-super-Mare, is due to appear at Weymouth Magistrates' Court on August 1 after being charged with driving whilst disqualified and for driving while over the legal alcohol limit. On the day of the incident, Dorset Police cordoned off the section of the road, while fire crews also attended.
South Western Ambulance Service confirmed two ambulances were called to the road and the man was taken to Dorset County Hospital. Significant delays were reported in the area with traffic affected both ways from Axminster and Bridport. 
Nearby residents said the incident caused significant issues with traffic throughout the day. Vincent Diament, who lives on Star Lane, said: "It was all stop and start. You only need a slight obstruction in the area and it all comes to a halt."
Coral Jackson, who lives nearby, saw the emergency services arrive in the afternoon. She said: "I heard all the sirens and I saw the aftermath. I think I would want to move if I lived there.
"It was chaos, there were traffic jams galore." A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: "We received a report at 12.07pm on Saturday, July 12 of a collision on the A35 in Morcombelake. "It was reported a van had collided with a wall.
Officers attended alongside the ambulance and fire services.
"A man aged in his 40s was taken to hospital with injuries not believed to be serious.
He was arrested on suspicion of driving offences and subsequently charged."
