A road in rural Dorset is blocked as several HGVs are stuck due to snow.

Heavy snow has fallen across the county this morning leaving many of Dorset's roads challenging to drive on and some impasssable altogether.

Currently, motorists are asked to avoid the area of Lyons Gate along the A352, north of Cerne Abbas.

Police say it is impassable to HGVs.

"Several remain stuck at the moment,"  Dorset Police said. "Dorset Council has been asked to redirect a snowplough this way, to hopefully open the road as soon as possible."
