[Travel] A259 closed both ways from Peacehaven

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

I believe that there has been a nasty accident on the Coast Road and that all traffic
( Eastbound and Westbound) is being turned around. Reports are fatalities and that the road will be closed for a number of hours. Eastbound traffic being turned around at Seaview Ave ( just past Domino's).

Had to go to Seaview avenue and saw a few ambulances at downlands avenue, didn't think the traffic was too bad once through that pain in the arse one way system in Rottingdean. Traffic was backed up from longhill to the pond

Crash not accident.

Not that it’s important with people seriously impacted, but it’s technically neither - Police referring to a collision (RTC).

Sometimes you need to keep a lid on it, it’s not compulsory to comment on every thread.

That stretch of road always seems dangerous to me with boy racers and some vans speeding . Feel sorry for anyone that lives in peacehaven and commutes daily .

There is a speed camera very close to where the accident has happened.

I was there just after it happened. An old lady had hit a man with her car at the pelican crossing. He looked in a bad way but was conscious so hopefully he’ll be ok.
