A TEEN was seriously injured in a late-night horror crash.

The 18-year-old was a passenger in a white Seat Ibiza when it smashed into two parked cars.

He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton.

The accident happened in Crawley Down Road in Felbridge, near East Grinstead, shortly before 10.30pm on Wednesday.

The driver, an 18-year-old man from Blindley Heath in Surrey, suffered whiplash and bruising injuries and was taken to East Surrey Hospital in Redhill.

Police said a blue Volkswagen Golf and a red Ford Focus were badly damaged in the collision. The road was closed for several hours.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact them. They said: “Anyone who witnessed the collision, who noticed the Seat being driven shortly beforehand, or who may have relevant dash-cam footage is asked to contact Sussex Police.”

An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol and drug driving.
