Icy roads are causing more problems for commuters as a car is reported to have left the road on a busy route. 

The vehicle came off the road near Ditchling Beacon. 

A van driver said he had driven up the steep hill and had witnessed ice on both sides of the road. 

He added that a police car and an ambulance was at the scene but that traffic could pass. 

A Sussex Police spokesman said there was nothing to suggest the road was icy but that a woman in her 20s was treated by paramedics for neck pain. 

She was driving a Nissan Micra.
