Two police driving instructors have been involved in a crash at one of West Sussex's most notorious accident blackspots.

Two training officers and two regular PCs were in an unmarked Honda which collided with a Mercedes on the A27 at Hammerpot, north of Angmering.

The bonnet of their car crumpled as the vehicle rolled on to its roof.

The front of the Mercedes was also damaged in the accident at 9.30am yesterday.

The four officers and the driver of the Mercedes were taken to Worthing Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries.

A spokeswoman said the officers had not been under instruction.

Sussex Police are investigating the cause of the smash.

Road experts have identified the stretch of road as a danger and earmarked it for closure when the Angmering bypass is built by the end of next year.
