Van skids off road in Bexhill's Old Town
It's alleged that this was just one of a number of cars which had skidded that afternoon due to what is believed to be a large diesel spillage on the road.
Driver of the van, Bexhill resident Eve McDougall, 47 said that she felt the car, "literally slide off the road", as she approached the bend. One wheel came off the car and another tyre burst.

Eve said a number of cars following her had also skidded.
A Police spokesman said: "The accident was due to oil/diesel spillage on the road. We have no idea where the spillage came from but it was subsequently cleared up and the roads were re-opened at 5.10pm"
