A KEY route through Dorset was partially blocked for two hours following a crash.

Police officers and ambulance were called to a two-vehicle collision on the B3157 Coast Road at the Puncknowle turn-off, between Burton Bradstock and Abbotsbury at 11.56am on Wednesday, June 9.

The crash caused the road to be partially blocked in both directions as police officers guided motorists around the crash.

First Wessex, which runs bus services in the area, shared online that its X53 services have been diverted and were unable to serve bus stops between Freshwater Holiday Park and Village Hall Portesham in both directions.

People hurt in the collision were given treatment by the ambulance service and the road was cleared at around 2.20pm.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said: "We received a report at 11.56am in relation to a two-vehicle collision on the B3157 at Puncknowle (turn-off).

"It was reported the road was blocked. Officers have attended along with the ambulance service.

"The road was cleared at around 2.20pm. There were minor injuries reported."
