The Accident and Emergency department was closed at a south coast hospital after a car crashed into the day surgery unit next door.

Sussex Police said the elderly driver was treated for minor injuries after the car ended up inside the building at Eastbourne District General Hospital.

A receptionist was treated for shock after the crash on Friday afternoon.

A&E later reopened for life-threatening emergencies and was expected to reopen fully during the evening.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the accident.
