A JEEP Cherokee overturned after falling 30 metres from Stanmer Park onto a grass verge of the A27.

Emergency services were called to the eastbound carriageway at around 8.40pm yesterday evening (November 26), where three occupants of the vehicle were accounted for.

Of these, two sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries, while a third sustained only minor injuries.

After a search of the area, assisted by the National Police Air Service helicopter, a fourth person was located, who also sustained minor injuries.

All four people were taken to hospital for treatment.

A section of the A27 at Falmer was closed for several hours while the vehicle was recovered.
