This morning, Peacehaven in East Sussex experienced significant traffic chaos following a road traffic collision on the A259, exacerbating existing delays due to roadworks in nearby Saltdean and Peacehaven. The incident involved a car and a motorcycle, leading to emergency responses from ESFRS, SECAmb, and Sussex Police.

The motorcycle rider was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries following the collision. In response, authorities closed the A259 to facilitate emergency services and vehicle recovery, causing traffic to be diverted through local back streets, which brought the area to a standstill.
