Lucky escape as van crashes into house after collision in Sedlescombe

A car and a DPD delivery van collided on the A21 Kent Street close to Sedlescombe golf club at about 3.15pm on Friday (December 4).

Pictures from the scene showed the car ending up on a grass bank, while the delivery van ended up colliding with front of a house.

An eyewitness, who asked to remain anonymous, said concrete spurs holding up fence posts and a rockery containing massive rocks stopped the van from going through the bay window of the house where a woman was sitting at the time.

The emergency services said there were no injuries reported.

The incident was attended by both Sussex Police and East Sussex Fire.

A fire service spokesman said: "A crew were mobilised to Kent Street, in Westfield, on 4 December at 15.27 following reports of a road traffic collision.

"Firefighters assisted by making two vehicles and the area safe. The incident was left with police, as no further assistance required."

A spokesman for Sussex Police said there was no further information to provide.
