A steep section of a busy A road in Hove was blocked this afternoon (Monday 9 November) when a lorry broke down and ended up sideways on.
The Mercedes lorry broke down part way up King George VI Avenue, known locally as Snaky Hill, which leads to the A27 Brighton bypass.
Sussex Police said that the lorry ended up stuck at about 1.40pm just past Goldstone Crescent which is at the foot of the hill.
A breakdown crew was sent and recovery was due to get under way as the school run turned into the evening rush-hour.
Shortly after 5pm, Sussex Police said: “Traffic is now flowing and the vehicle is awaiting recovery.”
I like B & H News because, up until now, it does not have clickbait headlines. I hope that this is not the beginning of lots of traffic stories with ambiguous headlines
