An early-morning smash between two cars is causing heavy traffic during rush-hour today (Tuesday).

A black Peugeot 307 and blue Fiat Punto collided on the A27 Arundel by-pass near the Ford roundabout at about 6.34am.

There were no injuries and the road was cleared of debris shortly after 7am.

However motorists continue to suffer long tailbacks as a result of the accident.

A spokesman from Sussex Police said: "The vehicles were removed by recovery teams after 7am - but as of 8am traffic is still built up in the area."
