A CAR and a motorbike collided causing traffic problems this morning.

The only injuries sustained were cuts and bruises by the biker, but the accident on the junction of Harper Road and Brighton Road (A259) in Newhaven caused the carriageway to be blocked for a short time.

The 6.45am incident caused delays and Brighton and Hove Buses announced that the 12 and 14 routes would be diverting as a result.
