TRAFFIC was down to one lane eastbound on the A27 after a car spun in the road.

The accident, involving a blue Peugeot, happened at 7.37am today.

One lane was blocked while recovery was in progress.

At the same time, 999 callers were reporting a crash in the same location westbound between a car and lorry, though police said it may have been confused with heavy congestion as no crash could subsequently be found.
