A teenager was killed when her car collided head-on with a people carrier.

The 18-year-old was travelling west along Adversane Lane, in Adversane, near Billingshurst, when the Peugeot 106 was in collision with a Fiat Doblo.

The victim is from Worthing but her name has not yet been released.

The people carrier driver, a 46-year-old man from West Chiltington, suffered minor injuries.

Police closed the road for three hours while accident investigators analysed the wreckage and driving conditions.

The crash happened about 8.25am yesterday but details were only released last night.

Sergeant Lloyd Sinden, of the road policing department in Haywards Heath, appealed for witnesses.
