Two arrested after A23 crash left ambulance flipped on roof
The collision occurred between a grey Mercedes GLE and a private ambulance on the northbound carriageway on the A23 at Pease Pottage at about 7.30am on June 27. Police have now arrested two of the three men who were travelling in the Mercedes. A 24-year-old man from Broadbridge Heath was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road traffic accident, driving while unfit through drugs, driving without insurance, and possession of an offensive weapon.
A 29-year-old man from Rudgewick was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop after a road traffic accident, and drug driving. Both men have been released on bail for further enquiries. 
Police are also appealing for further witnesses and dashcam footage to assist in the investigation. Officers are particularly seeking dashcam and CCTV footage of the Mercedes being driven from Brighton. As part of their enquiries, they are also looking for the driver of a tipper truck, carrying a crane attachment, which the ambulance was passing at the time of the collision, to come forward as a witness.
The ambulance crossed directly in front of the truck before rolling onto its side. The ambulance was not carrying a patient at the time. The incident led to the full closure of the northbound carriageway for around three hours.[1]
Any witnesses, and anyone with dashcam and CCTV footage, is asked to email [email protected], quoting serial 336 of 27/06.
