Flooding caused by Storm Bert has forced a road in north Dorset to close this morning.

Folke Lane near Sherborne has been closed due to the road being flooded and a broken down car which is blocking the route. 

The road is closed from both directions from the A3030 to Folke Manor Farm. 

Whilst rain is not forecast until late this evening, flood warnings remain in place across the county.
