Dorset Police received a report at 12.53pm on Saturday 22 July 2023 of a two vehicle collision involving a grey Volkswagen Polo and a blue Suzuki Carry van on the B3143 Slyer’s Lane crossroads.

A man aged in his 30s from Poole was taken to hospital for treatment by the ambulance service. His condition is described as serious and his family has been informed.

A 22-year-old man from Dorchester was arrested on suspicion of a driving offence and has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Road closures were put in place to allow emergency services to safely deal with the incident. The road reopened at around 7.50pm.

Police Sergeant Richard Stroud, of the Roads Policing Team, said: “I am carrying out enquiries to establish what happened and would ask any motorists who witnessed the collision to please come forward.

“Also, I am keen to hear from anyone who was travelling in the area and may have captured anything of relevance on dashcam footage.

“Finally, I would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding while the road closures were in place, which allowed us to carry out a thorough examination of the scene.”
