A man has suffered life-threatening injuries when his car crashed into a parked police car on the A27 near Arundel.
The road was closed after the collision at Hammerpot at around 1.30am on Tuesday.
The police car was helping with a lane closure following a separate crash, police said.
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: "A car collided with a stationary police car, which was assisting with a lane closure following a separate road collision two hours previous.
"The road was closed in both directions so colleagues from West Sussex Fire and Rescue and the ambulance service could attend the scene.
"A man was taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital with serious, life threatening and life changing injuries, where he remains at this time."
Police are appealing for dash-cam footage that could help with their investigation.
The road was fully reopened shortly before 12.00pm on Tuesday.
