A woman has died following a head-on crash this morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene in Ditchling Road, Brighton, near Hollingbury Park golf course at 9.09am today, where the woman's Vauxhall Astra had collided with a Ford Mondeo.
The 52-year-old woman, from Brighton, had to be cut from her vehicle by firefighters but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
The Mondeo driver, a 65-year-old man from Lancing, suffered a fractured wrist but was able to escape from his car unaided and was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.
Ditchling Road was closed between Coldean Lane junction and the Woodbourne Avenue junction to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians while the incident was being dealt with. It reopened shortly after 2pm.
Anyone who saw what happened should email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk or phone 101, quoting Operation Snowflake.
