A motorist was taken to hospital after being injured in a two vehicle crash.

Emergency services were called to the A24 roundabout junction between Broadwater Street West and Ardsheal Road in Worthing at just before 6.45pm last night.

Firefighters cut out two people from the vehicles using hydraulic rescue equipment who were unable to get out by themselves because of their injuries.

One of the motorists was taken to hospital while the other was assessed on scene for injuries.

Firefighters were on the scene for about 45 minutes and the incident caused large traffic tailbacks.
