A LORRY has been examined by police and forensic teams following a collision between a motorcycle and a lorry on the A27.

Pictures from the A27 in Polegate show police alongside the Scania lorry, with one officer looking underneath the vehicle, while forensics teams examined between the wheels of the lorry with a camera.

One officer could also be seen in the cab of the vehicle, which was parked in a lay-by and cordoned off from traffic with a set of traffic cones.

A person has sustained serious injuries following the crash, which took place earlier this morning between the Southerham Roundabout and Beddingham Roundabout near Lewes.

The stretch of road remains closed, with a diversion causing congestion in and around Newhaven.

The road is expected to remain closed throughout the afternoon while a full investigation is carried out.

The South East Coast Ambulance Service has been approached for comment.
