Sussex Police, the South East Coast Ambulance Service and crews from the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service have been sent to help the injured driver and to clear the road.

A police officer at the scene warned motorists of ‘long delays’ as recovery – which was on the scene – needed time to clear the incident.

He added: “Drive to the conditions, and get home safely.”

The road has now been reopened but delays are expected.
