A SECTION of the A27 has now reopened after it was closed for almost 12 hours following a four-vehicle crash near Lewes.
Police have now reopened the busy carriageway that was closed at 12.24pm, after the collision between a Ford Transit, a delivery van and two cars just east of Beddingham Roundabout.
A man with life-changing injuries and a woman with life-threatening injuries were both been taken to hospital following the crash.
No other injuries were reported, police said.
The busy carriageway was reopened at 11.19pm, after it was closed to enable investigations and recovery work to be completed, including debris and damage to the road surface.
Writing on Twitter, a spokesman from Sussex Police said: "The A27 is now fully open and all vehicles have now been removed.
"Have a safe journey and thank you for your patience."
The road closure caused long delays for motorists, as some HGVs got stuck in nearby country lanes while avoiding the accident.
Anyone with dashcam footage of the incident is being urged by police to come forward.
The spokesman added: "Police are urging anyone who saw what happened – or anyone with relevant dashcam footage – to email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting Operation Craven.
"We'd also like to thank the public for their patience and understanding."
