The teenagers, who were travelling in a Vauxhall Corsa, collided with a flatbed lorry on the A272 near Billingshurst.

Four emergency helicopters attended the scene including air ambulances from London, Kent and Hampshire as well as a police helicopter from Sussex.

Three of the teenagers suffered life-threatening injuries and were flown to specialist hospitals in London and Essex while the fourth teenager was taken to Worthing Hospital with serious injuries.
