Emergency services were called to London Road in Hardham after a Ford KA and a BMW collided at about 9.30am.

Police said a man became trapped in the BMW. He was freed by firefighters and was checked over at the scene by paramedics. Officers said he and a woman who was also injured whilst travelling in the BMW were taken to Richard's Hospital, in Chichester, for further checks.
