A TRUCK registered to a Ringwood company was involved in a rush hour accident in Poole this morning.

The brown Daf van was in collision with a red Nissan car belonging to a woman from Poole at Waterloo Road just before 8am. The car then hit a tree on the central reservation.

The road was not closed but the accident did cause some delays. The female driver of the car suffered head injuries but these were not thought to be life-threatening.
