East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were called to the westbound lane of the A27 in Brighton, between A270 Lewes Road and Coldean Lane, at around 4.35pm to reports of a truck on fire. Three fire engines were sent – but it turned out to be overheated plastic in the lorry rather than a fire. The truck partially blocked the westbound lane, causing traffic to build up – but vehicles are able to get past.
