A man has been taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries following a crash involving a police car.
Sussex Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage following the serious collision on the A27 in Hammerpot that happened at around 1.25am this morning.
A force spokesman said a car collided with a stationary police car, which was assisting with a lane closure following a separate road collision two hours previous.
The road was closed in both directions so West Sussex Fire and Rescue and the ambulance service could attend the scene.
A man was taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital with serious, life-threatening and life-changing injuries, where he remains at this time.
Police confirmed the man in hospital is the driver of the other vehicle involved.
The A27 has subsequently reopened.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: “Anyone witnesses to the collision or has dashcam footage which could assist officers with their investigation is asked to report it to police by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk quoting Operation Hutton.”
