Two fire crews from Worthing Fire station were called to the building in Romany Rd. En route, it was believed that residents were trapped, so an additional appliance was mobilised from Worthing. Crews arrived within 4 minutes and found several people in the road, waving the crews down and told them of a fire on the first floor. Two firefighters wearing Breathing apparatus entered the flat and one male adult was led to safety. Meanwhile 9 other residents were evacuated as a precaution. Two people suffered smoke inhalation and were given oxygen at the scene before being taken to hospital for a precautionary check up. The fire was started accidentally and luckily damage was restricted to the living room only. The initial call was raised by some youths who were walking past the building and saw the flickering of the flames in the window and smoke coming from the first floor. Whilst one of them dialled 999, the others ran to the flats and started to alert the residents to the danger. This led to the building being evacuated very quickly. Watch Commander Darren Wickings said "The actions of the passing youths were very commendable. They immediately dialled 999 and started to inform our Control and Mobilising centre about the fire, whilst two others ran to the door and started banging on it. They also shouted up to the second floor and alerted residents to the situation. Their prompt action certainly made our job easier, as the evacuation was well under way when we arrived. Two people suffered smoke inhalation, but the outcome could have been much worse, had the residents not had an early warning."

The collision involved a silver Mercedes C220 saloon car which was believed to have been stationary on the motorway, a green Honda Accord saloon and a silver Renault Megane. Four occupants of the vehicles were injured and one of them, a 40-year old Slough man who was the sole occupant of the Renault, is in a critical condition with internal injuries. A man and a woman in the Honda, both from Crawley, were both injured, one seriously and one slightly, and both have since been discharged from hospital. A 22-year old man from Shepperton in Surrey, who had been in the Mercedes was arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving and being unfit to drive through drink or drugs. Having been released from hospital he is currently being questioned by police. All four were taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. The northbound carriageway remained open throughout the incident. However the southbound M23 was completely closed between Gatwick and Crawley until 10.00am, when it was then possible to open the hard shoulder to southbound traffic. The full southbound carriageway was opened at 12.30pm. Anyone who saw what happened is asked to contact Sussex Police via 101 quoting Operation Oyster.

If you can help please call us on 101 quoting Operation Damask." A Sussex Police spokesman said; "It was necessary to shut the road for three hours to allow the helicopter to land and for the cyclist to be treated at the roadside by emergency paramedics.
