Air ambulance attends two van crash on A259 – queueing traffic

The air ambulance landed in a field in Ovingdean

An air ambulance had attended a two van crash on the A259 and part of the westbound lane is closed.

The air ambulance landed in a field in Ovingdean to attend a two van crash at the St Dustons roundabout.

Traffic in the area is slow in the area.

According to sensors, the A259 Marine Drive at Rottingdean is partially blocked and there is queueing traffic due to the accident.

Buses are being diverted due to the road closure.

Due to an RTC at the roundabout of Marine Drive/Greenways, the Coast Road is closed westbound. All 12, 12A, 12X, 13X, 14, 14C & 27 buses will instead divert via Falmer Road, Woodingdean and Wilsons Avenue.

12, 12A, 12X, 13X, 14, 14C buses are also terminating short at Sealife
