The Highways Agency will install specialist concrete blocks at the flyover overnight, so that the road can be safely reopened tomorrow. More permanent work will be carried out at a later date.

The A27 westbound will also need to be resurfaced at a later date due to fire damage.

The collision, involving a black Vauxhall Astra and a white Transit van, took place shortly after 4am.

The driver of the car left the scene.

A 22-year-old man from Worthing was later arrested on suspicion of failing to provide a specimen for analysis, failing to report an accident and dangerous driving.

He was released on bail until 17 October.

No-one was seriously hurt.
