20 hurt in A23 minibus crash
A MINIBUS crash on the A23 south of Albourne was declared a major incident today (Thursday June 8) with as many as 20 people injured, four seriously hurt.
A spokesman for the Sussex Ambulance Service confirmed the Sussex police helicopter and the Thames helicopter were at the scene as well as a number of ambulances, fire crews and police.
The incident happened at 3.45pm.
Fire and Rescue Service spokesman Gary Towson said the vehicle was on its roof on the central reservation and the road had been closed in both directions.
"Fire crews freed one man who was trapped in the vehicle, the ambulance service is treating a large number of casualties at the scene," Mr Towson said.
When the County Times went to press the incident was still on-going.

I was coming through there around 4pm but followed a few cars the wrong up the 'down ramp' at HHP.
Didnt know what the hold up was at the time but it looked fairly solid southbound

The EK "just took an hour to get from Lewes to Hurstpierpoint" travel update:
A23 closed northbound at Patcham
Queues from Newtimber to Poynings from the A23, and up the Saddlescombe road.
Queues from Saddlescombe Road south end into Brighton & Hove
Queues through Burgess Hill into Hurstpierpoint and up to Poynings.
Queues bloody everywhere else in Burgess Hill (where I still have to get to)
Queues in Hassocks
Queues on Ditchling Road northbound out of Brighton and towards Ditchling village
*sighs*
cheer up folks, at least it's a nice day, you still have your health, and the World Cup starts tomorrow

Don't think you will be coming down the A23 Dave, or at least if you do, you'll be getting a lovely (and tortuously slow) scenic tour of the delights of Burgess Hill
Would go for the A24 myself, as even when they've removed the casualties, it's a large enough incident to require the full works from the Crash Investigation Unit, so they'll be running around taking photos and measuring for ages still before the road reopens.

I've just driven to Crawley for work, the Southbound road was still closed, looked like they were sweeping up the last of the debris. The Northbound side was open for 1 lane, am guessing the southbound carriageway will be opened 1 lane soon until they repair the central reservation.
