TWO cars have crashed on the A35 in Bridport.

Dorset Police were called to the collision near the Crown Roundabout at 11.17am - with one person treated for whiplash at the scene.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "The collision involved two vehicles - a white Hyundai, registered to a Portsmouth man and a blue Mitsubishi, registered to a woman from Blackwood in Wales.

"The road does not appear to be closed, so it looks more like a minor collision."

Traffic is currently heavy around Bridport on the A35 - with temporary traffic lights at Chideock set up following yesterday's fire at the Clockhouse Inn.

Traffic is reportedly queuing back to the Texaco garage roundabout.
