A man remains in a critical but stable condition following a three vehicle collision near Bere Regis on Friday morning which resulted in the A35 being shut for eight hours.
Following the crash, a man in his 70s who was driving one of the vehicles was airlifted to Southampton General Hospital by air ambulance.
It happened on the A35 on Sugar Hill, involving a tipper lorry, a silver Mitsubishi L200 and a black Range Rover.
The driver of the lorry - a man aged in his 50s and also from the Poole area - was uninjured.
The driver of the Range Rover - a man aged in his 50s and from the Curry Rivel area of Somerset - sustained largely minor injuries. Although he was taken to Poole Hospital, he has since been discharged.
Police Constable Jay Griffin, of the traffic unit, said: "We are continuing to carry out enquiries into the full circumstances of the collision.
"I would urge any witnesses to the incident itself, or the manner of driving of the vehicles involved prior to it, who have not spoken to police yet to please come forward.
"I am also keen to hear from anyone who was driving in the area around the relevant time and has dashcam fitted to their vehicle to please check their footage for anything of relevance.
"Finally, I would like to thank motorists for their patience during the road closure, which was absolutely necessary to enable emergency services to attend the scene in a safe manner and provide medical assistance."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police.
