Rush-hour drivers inconvenienced by toilet trailer crash on Brighton bypass

A lorry carrying a trailer laden with portable toilets jack-knifed on the A27 Brighton bypass during the evening rush-hour.

Drivers were inconvenienced for almost three hours by the accident.

The accident happened on the eastbound side of the road at Hollingbury at about 5.20pm yesterday afternoon (Thursday 4 July).

The lorry driver suffered minor injuries.

The incident caused long tailbacks back to Patcham. The road reopened at 8.10pm once the trailer had been removed and the spillage had been cleaned off the road.
