TRAFFIC was delayed this morning on the A361 near Beckhampton when a car turned on its side after apparently hitting a lamppost.

Police were called at 8.10am by a witness after the silver Nissan Micra turned on its side about 100m from the Beckhampton roundabout.

The 25-year-old male driver sustained very minor injuries and South Western Ambulance did not attend.

A road closure was not needed police as were able to remove the car from the road.
