A driver died when a car and a lorry carrying gas cylinders collided early today.
The lorry was towing a trailer also packed with cylinders when the crash happened on the A283 Washington Road at Sullington, near Storrington, at 12.05am.
The road was closed for six hours as firefighters cut the victim from the wreckage of the Vauxhall Astra.
Fire crews from Horsham, Worthing and Storrington were called because of the danger of explosion but the gas cylinders were unaffected.
Sussex Police were not releasing the victim's name until relatives had been informed.
