A car has flipped onto its roof inside the Southwick Tunnel, causing chaos on the roads. Emergency crews, including Sussex Police, are on the scene tackling the incident.

Stay Clear: Tunnel Blocked After Car Overturns

The Southwick Tunnel is currently closed as emergency services deal with the crash. Motorists are warned to expect delays and avoid the area if possible.

Follow the Hollow Diamond for Smooth Diversions

Here’s the alternative route to skip the blockage:

  • Exit the A27 at Holmbush Interchange, then take the 1st exit onto the A270 at the roundabout.
  • Follow the A270 to the A293 junction, turn left onto the A293 northbound.
  • Continue on the A293 northbound to join the A27 eastbound at Hangleton Interchange and carry on your way.

Keep an eye out for road signs marked with a hollow diamond – they’ll guide you safely around the closure.
