Two horses have been badly injured following a serious crash in West Sussex.
A Land Rover overturned close to junction 11 of the M23 near Crawley at 5.30pm today. The vehicle, which was trailing a horsebox, is still at the scene.
The whole northbound carriageway of the road has been shut and traffic is set to build up. Police, the fire service, paramedics and a vet are at the scene.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: “The horses have been very badly injured. As it has only just happened we don’t know how it happened. We have called a local vet to the scene to care for the horses.
“The northbound carriageway in the direction of Crawley and London has been shut and traffic is likely to build up.”
