AN accident between two lorries caused the A27 to be blocked off for three hours this morning.

Police were called to an incident at Selmeston at 6.08am after two lorries crashed into each other, and it was reported that one of the lorries ended up in the village petrol station.

Emergency services recovered the vehicles and made the road safe, and it was re-opened by 9.10am.

A Sussex Police spokeswoman said both drivers sustained minor injuries.
