TWO people escaped injury after a campervan lost control and ploughed into a ditch on the A31.

The carriageway was blocked in one lane eastbound at Poulner Hill after the crash, which saw the vehicle end up on its side.

Police and ambulance were both at the scene after being called at around 11.40am on Thursday. No other vehicles were believed to have been involved.

A spokesperson for South Central Ambulance Service said: "We were called to reports that a campervan had lost control and gone off the road and into some bushes.

"There were two patients, both of whom managed to get out of the vehicle. They sustained minor injuries and were discharged at the scene by paramedics."

Traffic was queuing near the scene of the accident, which happened between the Picket Post Services and Stoney Cross.

There were delays of around 30 minutes, with congestion back to the A338 Salisbury Road.
