An eyewitness at the scene said people in flats and the Lion and Lobster pub were forced to leave the buildings after the collision late last night, amid fears of a gas leak. These pictures from the scene show a badly damaged, red SUV against a wall of one of the buildings in Bedford Place, many of which are listed. Crews from East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were on the scene, supported by Sussex Police.
