The motorist, a woman aged in her 40s who lives in Portland, was driving a black Ford Focus and was arrested on suspicion of having committed a driving offence.
Police closed the road between the Osprey Quay roundabout and the junction with Hamm Beach Road while emergency services responded to the fatal crash.
