The road was blocked after a man was hit by a van on Gloucester Road, Brighton

THE ROAD was partially blocked after a man was hit by a van this morning.

Sussex police closed part of the road and placed a police tape where Tidy Street met Gloucester Road while they investigated.

One photo shows clothes strewn on the floor.

A witness told The Argus that they heard someone shout “stop” before the person was hit by the van.

Traffic in the area is doing well, but people are still advised to avoid the North Lane area.

The accident happened at about the same time as a cyclist was hit by a hearse in Hove this morning.

Sussex police have confirmed that an 80-year-old woman is in hospital with serious injuries.
