An eyewitness said the accident was involved two separate incidents. A lorry, he said, had come into difficulty on the A27, which was being cordoned off by workers.

A car reacted late to the closure, said the witness, and stopped quickly, causing the car behind to crash into the back of the vehicle.

One of the drivers suffered a broken collarbone, the witness said, and a dog also travelling in the car escaped unhurt.

The road was reopened as of around 10.15am.
