A photographer has sent in pictures of a cement truck on its side after reports of a crash in Heathfield this afternoon (Friday, April 14).

AA Traffic News reported at 1.31pm that the A265 was partially blocked with queueing traffic due to crash.

The AA said the road was affected both ways around Swife Lane but said sensors show that traffic can pass in both directions.
