Two Women Seriously Hurt in Horror Crash on A350 Near Blandford
Crash Shuts Down Busy Road for Hours
Two women were rushed to hospital with serious injuries after a nasty collision on the A350 near Blandford. The smash happened just after 4.30pm on Thursday, 31 July, close to the Golden Fox pub in Sturminster Marshall.
The crash involved a black Audi Q3 and a grey Ford Fiesta. The Audi driver, a woman in her 70s from Poole, and the Ford driver, a woman in her 20s, also from Poole, both needed urgent medical attention.
Emergency teams shut the road for around three hours to investigate and clear the wreckage. The A350 finally reopened at about 7.45pm.

I would like to thank the public for their patience while the road closure was in place as this allowed us to carry out a detailed scene examination.”
