Three Hurt As Horse Dies In Crash
Three people have been injured and a horse killed after a camper van collided with a number of loose horses in East Sussex.
The collision happened on the A26 at Clayhill, just north of Lewes, around 1:20am this morning.
A VW camper van, which was driven by a 48-year-old man from Uckfield, was travelling north when it came across five horses on the road.

Two children were also in the van. They were unhurt, but were also taken to hospital to be checked over.
A vet was called to the scene, where one of the horses had to be put down and another two were treated for injuries.
Police are appealing for anyone who saw the crash or the horses in the area before it occurred to contact them on: 0845 60 70 999.
