A mother was one of two people killed in two separate smashes in East Sussex at the weekend.

The woman, aged 33, was killed when her car was involved in a collision with a flat-bed truck.

She died at the scene in Heron's Ghyll, near her home town of Crowborough.

She had been travelling north along the A26 in the opposite direction to the Transit truck, which was heading towards Uckfield.

Fire crews from Crowborough spent an hour trying to cut the woman free from the wreckage of her Rover car before she died.

The truck driver sustained minor injuries but did not require hospital treatment.

The accident happened at 10.10pm on Friday.

A man died in a crash on the A27 at Firle, near Lewes, on Saturday at 8.15pm.

One person was seriously injured and another four suffered minor injuries when an Audi and a Fiat were in collision.
