Two people fled the scene of a car crash which left a woman with face and arm injuries.

The woman had to be cut from the wreckage of her car after the smash in Falmer Road in Brighton at 9.55pm last night.

The 22-year-old motorist from Hailsham was driving a green Rover Metro when she was in collision with a green Rover 820.

Two people from the Rover 820 left the scene and police have been unable to trace them.

A fire crew from Preston Circus was called to free the woman.

She was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton for treatment. The victim was not named by Sussex Police, who operate data protection guidelines.
