Photos showing a police presence on Alfriston Road were submitted to this newspaper on Monday, July 22. They show at least two police vehicles and several police officers at the scene with a motorbike lying on the grass next to the road.
At around 7pm on Sunday there were reports on social media that Alfriston Road was closed both ways due to a crash with no through route from Seaford to Alfriston or the A27.
Sussex Police and South East Coast Ambulance Service were approached for comment.
