A lorry containing nappies tipped on its side in a rush-hour crash today.

The vehicle was travelling on the A272 between Bolney and Cowfold when the driver lost control at 7.30am.

The driver escaped unhurt. An articulated lorry trying to pass the crash scene went into a ditch and wrecked its offside tyres, adding to the congestion.

Haywards Heath police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which caused traffic tailbacks in the area.
