Buses are queueing 'as far as the eye can see' in Brighton city centre today.
The buses were sat idling along Western Road at around 12.45pm, according to Richard Eason, from Brighton, who witnessed it first-hand.
He said: "Buses [are] backed up as far as the eye can see, all with their engines running!"
While the reason for the bus gridlock is currently unclear, there has been heavy traffic in the city centre after the aquarium roundabout, which is currently being turned into a crossroads as part of the Valley Gardens project - was shut off by police today.
This was due to a serious crash involving a motorcyclist and a van at around 10.25am which led to the motorcyclist being taken to hospital.
Nick Hill from Brighton and Hove Buses said: "Following an earlier incident on the seafront which led to a temporary road closure, traffic was diverted via West Street and surrounding routes.
"This caused significant congestion in the area, with buses caught in the same queues as other vehicles and moving very slowly along Western Road.
"All of our buses operating in this area are low or zero-emission vehicles within the ULEZ, helping to reduce overall environmental impact even during periods of congestion."
