The A27 is completely closed following a serious solo car crash early this morning, causing chaos for drivers in East Sussex. Emergency services rushed to the scene, sparking big delays and forcing drivers onto lengthy diversions.
At around 3:10am, the South East Coast Ambulance Service and police were called to a severe single-vehicle smash on the eastbound A27. For safety reasons, both eastbound and westbound carriageways between the B3123 near Falmer and the A277 near Lewes remain shut.
National Highways and Sussex Police are managing traffic, directing motorists onto local routes to steer clear of the closure. So far, there haven’t been reports of massive delays on surrounding roads – but drivers should expect hold-ups and plan accordingly.
Authorities advise allowing extra travel time, considering alternative routes, and postponing journeys if possible.
