A259 closed after stolen van crash – Brighton and Hove News

The A259 is closed between Brighton and Peacehaven tonight after a stolen Royal Mail van crashed at the Ovingdean roundabout.

The van was reported stolen from Hamsey Road in Brighton earlier today.

Soon after, it was spotted by officers and crashed at Ovingdean.

A police spokesman said: “A man has been arrested, and a temporary road closure is in place while we investigate this incident.”

The road closure is causing tailbacks on several other roads in the area.
