Post box comes a cropper after mystery crash

A pillar box on Brighton seafront was left looking a bit wonky after a mystery crash yesterday morning.

Sussex Police have no record of what happened to the post box, on the corner of Oriental Place and Kings Road, but a resident reported hearing a loud crash at about 7.40am.

There’s also no police record of two more crashes further along the seafront on Marine Parade.

One car ended up smashed into a rock on Drake Hotel’s driveway, and another into barriers by a pedestrian crossing refuse near the Royal Crescent Mansions.

General manager Richard Hayes said: “I believe it was linked, the person that crashed into our rock feature was forced off the road by the person that eventually crashed into the pedestrian crossing.”

Royal Mail has been approached for comment.

    Did it get hit by Coronavirus?

    When was it put there? I like to look at the reigns on the doors to them. There are still some sporting Queen Victoria. Tons of letters must have passed through the slot.

    You mean pedestrian crossing refuge not refuse
