Three cars crashed after a dog ran on to the A27 Brighton bypass this afternoon (Friday 24 October).
It was one of four incidents in relatively quick succession that brought traffic to a standstill at times.
Two people got out of their car and managed to walk the dog to safety.
Sussex Police said: “Emergency services attended four separate incidents on the A27 north of Brighton this afternoon (Friday, October 24).
“It was reported that a dog ran on to the A27 bypass just before a three-vehicle collision took place at about 1pm, near the junction of Carden Avenue with the A27.
“In a separate incident, a box of plywood fell from the back of a lorry.
“There were also two broken-down vehicles.
“All lanes have now reopened.
“No injuries were reported as a result of any of the incidents and the dog is said to have escaped unharmed.”
Does anyone know what the dog looked like? I am searching for a blue staffy at the moment who was taken from his training center in Horly and has been missing for 6 days.
I hope everyone involved in the collision is okay and those harmed wish them a successful recovery. My thoughts are with you all.
It was a small cockerpoo looking breed, dark coat possibly a white tip on the tail.
I was one of several vehicles that put their hazards on as it ran along the road. It wasn’t staffy.
Good luck finding the dog you are looking for
Dog was a cockapoo – I know this because I am a dog walker and it ran from another dog walker. I hope you find your Blue Staffy🥲
I hope someone took.cockapoo to safe place and owner retrieved dog and hope no one was hurt.Feel anxious for the dog
As must be lost.
