Dorset & Hants Live: Lorry crash

That's all for today! The BBC Local Live service for Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight will resume at 08:00 on Tuesday.

Thanks for joining us.

A woman has told a court how she stabbed her partner to death at his flat in Ryde to stop him hitting her with a walking boot. 

In a voice shaking with emotion, Deborah Napier recalled how she was dragged out of bed and attacked by Jolyon Wray at the property in East Hill Road on 13 June.

She told Winchester Crown Court that she couldn't clearly remember picking up a steak knife and stabbing Mr Wray, 46, in the back, while a 999 operator was listening on the phone.

Mrs Napier, 53, of Amazon Close, Basingstoke, admits manslaughter but denies murder, and the trial continues

An inspection has been carried out on a section of seawall damaged in the high winds and large waves on Saturday night.

An Environment Agency inspection on Monday found "the integrity of the sea wall has not been compromised". Purbeck District Council said it would be repaired in due course.

The storm conditions led to over-topping of part of the sea wall near the Square on Saturday, causing flooding of some businesses.

A new embankment created on a road in Dorset in a bid to alleviate flooding has been breached by flood water, a council has said.

West Stafford By-Pass, near Dorchester, is currently closed.

Quote Message: The current scheme is the most effective and cheapest option in the short-term to tackle the recurring problems with flooding, which have resulted in frequent road closures. It is unfortunate that the heavy rain following Storm Angus has breached the new embankment before we were able to complete the drainage improvements. We sympathise with road users who will again be inconvenienced. However, we need to close the road for people’s safety. We hope to be able to reopen the road and complete the works as quickly as possible to reduce the chance of future closures. from Councillor Peter Finney Dorset County Council’s cabinet member for environment, infrastructure and highways
