Dorset Police have issued a witness and dashcam appeal following a collision which caused serious injuries in Hurn this morning.
The incident was reported at 8:04 AM on Tuesday 27 January 2026, with the collision involving a Ford Transit van and a Nissan NV200.
It occurred on Matchams Lane, close to Bournemouth Airport in Hurn.
A man in his 20s was taken to Southampton General Hospital to receive treatment for injuries that are serious but are not life-threatening.
The road was initially closed to allow emergency services to respond to the scene, with an examination of the collision also taking place.
Any disruptions to local traffic should now be over as Matchams Lane has since reopened.
Police Constable Calum Maton, of the Roads Policing Team, said “We are carrying out further enquiries to establish the full circumstances of this collision and I am keen to hear from any witnesses who have not already spoken to police.
“I would also like to speak to anyone who may have captured relevant dashcam footage.
“Finally, I would like to thank members of the public for their patience and understanding during the road closures, which were put in place to enable the emergency services to respond and for an examination of the scene to be carried out.”
Witnesses of the collision, those with any relevant dashcam footage or anyone who knows any information which may aid the investigation are being urged to come forward.
