Crash Chaos on A27! A nasty smash has shut the A27 westbound completely between Portslade (A293) and Shoreham (A270) near the Southwick Tunnel. Three vehicles are involved, emergency crews are on scene, and delays are piling up.

Full Carriageway Closure Sparks Massive Delays

The serious collision has forced a full closure of the westbound A27. No details yet on injuries or damage, but the disruption is heavy and long-lasting. Drivers should brace for big hold-ups.
