Bournemouth's Championship home match against Blackburn Rovers has been delayed by half an hour for safety reasons.

Kickoff at Dean Court will now take place at 3.30pm following a traffic collision on the A338, near the stadium.

"Bournemouth vs Blackburn will kick off at 3.30pm after an earlier accident on the A338," read a statement on the official Cherries Twitter account.

The hosts head into the match in fourth place in the table, while Blackburn occupy 10th.
