A SECAmb (South East Coast Ambulance Service) spokesperson said, “I can confirm we are in attendance of an RTC in Eastbourne Road between a car and a lorry. One of our crews came across the incident. There is one male casualty and he is likely to be taken to hospital for his injuries.”

The road was said to be partially blocked northbound at The Triangle and there was slow traffic around the area for some time.
