A car caught fire after a crash.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were called to the collision between a Citroen and an Audi on the Polegate bypass between the A27 and A22 shortly before 3.30pm today.

The road was closed for more than one hour as crews put out the blaze in the Citroen car.

One person also had to be cut free by fire crews from the second vehicle after becoming trapped.

A Sussex Police spokeswoman said the two drivers sustained minor injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
