The A27 has reopened after a crash at the Southwick Tunnel this morning.
A driver was injured in the crash at the tunnel's exit on the eastbound carriageway at 6.45am, but their condition was not thought to be life-threatening.
No other vehicles were involved.
The road was closed while the car was cleared but had been reopened by 8.30am.

6.45am, no other vehicle involved. Yes, it could have been mechanical failure or the car striking debris. Doubt it. I bet it was bad driving. Inexperience.
