A serious two-car collision has forced the closure of the A27 westbound between Patching and Arundel, causing significant disruption for drivers in West Sussex.
The crash left debris scattered across the road, making it unsafe for traffic to pass through the area.
Sussex Police and emergency crews responded quickly to the scene, working alongside National Highways contractors to manage traffic and clear the wreckage as swiftly as possible.
Motorists are advised to avoid the affected section of the A27 and follow the official diversion route marked by a hollow triangle symbol.
The recommended detour requires drivers to exit the A27 at Clapham, head west on the A280, then take the A259 to the A284 before rejoining the A27 at Crossbush.
Travelers should plan for extra journey time or consider delaying their trips until the road reopens to avoid further delays.
