THE B3162 in Broadwindsor was closed in both directions because of a spillage of milk on the road.

A milk tanker had overturned.

The road was closed between the B3164 West Street in Broadwindsor and Littlewindsor Road in Drimpton.

Motorists were therefore being asked to avoid the area if possible to avoid congestion. 

A spokesman for Dorset Police confirmed they are in attendance.

He said: "We were called at 11.15am. A tanker has overturned but there are no injuries."
