A man has been hit by a car.

Emergency services, including the air ambulance, were called to Ash Lane in Salwayash this morning. 

They were called shortly after 11.30am to reports of a collision between a Land Rover and a pedestrian.

Eyewitnesses say the air ambulance landed at a field within the Pineapple Business Park.

A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service said: "We sent two land ambulances and an air ambulance to attend the incident.

"A male patient was transported by land ambulance to hospital."  

A spokesman for Dorset Police said injuries are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening.

The road has since reopened.
