MOTORISTS were caught in lengthy tail backs on the A31 towards Bournemouth this evening.
Traffic travelling out of Southampton came to a standstill after a car ended up in a ditch on the busy road at Burley.
And in a seperate incident a lorry broke down at Cadnam.
The delays were made worse by traffic congestion around the Bournemouth area following three seperate road traffic accidents during this evening's rush hour.
