THIS was the dramatic scene yesterday following a head-on crash involving two cars.

Incredibly the occupants of both vehicles escaped without serious injuries.

The smash left the grey Hyundai with the whole bumper and bonnet missing.

The windscreen has not been damaged – a good sign for those inside.

A spokesman for Sussex Police said: “Two cars collided in South Coast Road, Saltdean, at the junction with Longridge Avenue, at 4.10pm.

“Some minor injuries were reported.”

Traffic was delayed as a clear-up operation was carried out but the road was clear again soon after 5pm.

The other car, a silver Toyota people-carrier, was not as badly damaged.
