Shortly after 9.10pm, a red Ford Ka was travelling from Alderbury towards Downton when the vehicle left the road on a left-hand bend on Barford Lane and flipped over.

Witherington Road was closed between Tunnel Hill junction at Alderbury and Barford Lane junction while enquiries were conducted at the scene and the road was cleared. The closure is due to lift shortly.
