Four injured in ambulance crash

Four people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries following a crash between an ambulance and a van.

The ambulance was going to Edenbridge, Kent, on an emergency call when it was involved in the collision with a van on the A264 at Blackham, in East Sussex.

Both lanes of the road were shut for three hours leading to long delays for motorists following the accident.

Police are appealing for any witnesses who were in the area at about 1320 GMT to contact them.
