Emergency services were called to the A2100 London Road, Battle, at Virgins Lane at 5.55pm after a black Jeep Cherokee and a white Audi TT travelling south and a grey Renault Megane travelling north crashed.

The drivers of the Audi, the 59-year-old Eastbourne woman, and the Renault, a 50-year-old woman from Hurst Green, were both taken by ambulance to the Conquest Hospital, St Leonards, with fractures, bruising and whiplash injuries.
