11:40am Saturday 2nd January 2010
THE A338 Bournemouth Spur Road and the Upton bypass were both closed for several hours today due to ice and accidents.
Police said there was chaos on the county's roads as there was "literally ice everywhere".
Three separate incidents occured on the A350 Upton bypass within 200m of each other, just before 10.40am. The road was closed between the Holes Bay roundabout and the Upton flyover until gritters could arrive.
The A31 at West Moors was also reported as dangerous because of ice.
The sub-freezing temperatures also caused problems on the A350 at Cann, and on the M3.
