A car caught fire after crashing into a wall last night in Eastbourne (Wednesday, October 23).

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (ESFRS) were called to Beverington Road at 5.45pm following reports of a collision.

A car had collided with a wall at the entrance of a driveway, and then subsequently caught fire, ESFRS said.
