Flooding in Sussex: More cars submerged in water after torrential rainfall

The Environment Agency warned this morning that ‘local inland flooding is probable’ in parts of South East England on Sunday. Residents were told that land, roads and some properties could flood and ‘there could be travel disruption’.

Those fears have been realised in Sussex, with dozens of flooding incidents reported. These are the latest road traffic incidents, involving flooding.

- Mid Sussex Police officers have been called to Monteswood Lane, where two vehicles are stranded in floodwater. The road is closed both ways, from Freshfield Lane to Montes Hill.

- B2272 Muster Green, in Haywards Heath, is partially blocked this evening, due to flooding.

- College Lane in Chichester remains blocked due to earlier flooding.
