DUSTCART COLLIDES WITH FLATS

At around 10am this morning (June 28) police were called to a single vehicle collision in Martello Road, opposite Pebble Road in Pevensey Bay.

A police spokesman said: 'The driver of a dust cart had left the vehicle to assist colleagues and failed to put the handbrake on.

'Subsequently, the vehicle has rolled down the hill, through a garden wall and into a block of flats, causing substantial structural damage to the building'

Normans Road through to Pevensey Bay remains closed whilst structural supports are put in place before the vehicle can be removed.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue and Wealden District Council attended the scene.
