Police shut the road off to pedestrians and traffic at the Comptons Lane junction at around 5.15pm.

One tree has fallen but emergency services fear that more are unstable and could fall.

West Sussex County Council (WSCC) will assess whether or not it is safe enough to remove the tree and the road could be closed most of the night.
