The emergency services rushed to a collision between Littlehampton and Worthing.

A car collided with a lorry, at the Roundstone Bypass, on Thursday afternoon (April 23). It was reported around 12.45pm.

However, ambulance crews were ‘stood down prior to arrival’, as ‘no injuries were reported’, SECAmb said.

"Upon arrival crews were faced with a road traffic collision involving one lorry and a car. Fortunately nobody was trapped in either of the vehicles.”

Fire crews ‘made the area safe’, before leaving the scene at 1.05pm.

AA Traffic News reported a partial road closure, whilst the incident was ongoing – with slow traffic in the area.

The road has since reopened.
