A WOMAN has been injured after a crash between a car and a lorry.

Emergency services were called to the A23 southbound at Pyecombe where a Smart car and a tipper lorry had collided at 9.15am.

The accident blocked all three lanes of the carriageway, causing tailbacks to Donkey Hill until the scene was cleared at around 9.40am.

The female involved sustained ankle injuries, though these were not thought to be serious.
