Two mile tailbacks are holding up commuters after a crash at a section of roadworks.

One lane of the A27 eastbound near to the Southerham Roundabout is currently blocked following the accident which occurred at just after 7.30am this morning.

Cars are currently stuck in tailbacks all the way back to Falmer with congestion also now being reported around side roads off this section of the A27.

Major roadworks began this week to carry out maintenance work on the Southerham Railway Bridge.
