A Worthing pensioner was killed when her car and a dustcart collided head-on.
The 79-year-old woman was driving with a friend in Water Lane, Angmering, when the accident happened, at 11.53am yesterday.
It is believed the lorry overturned on to the silver Vauxhall Corsa, trapping both occupants.
Firefighters used hydraulic equipment to cut them out of the wreckage and they were taken to Worthing Hospital.
The driver died. Her 80-year-old passenger's injuries are described as serious but not life-threatening.
The 24-year-old dustcart driver, from Shropshire, was treated for shock at the scene.
