The last customers were being served in The Blacksmiths Arms pub in Offham, Sussex, when a van went into the front porch.

The landlords of a pub in Sussex say it is 'incredible' that no-one was hurt, after a van crashed through the front of their building on Saturday night .

The middle section of the front porch then collapsed, with pictures showing roof tiles scattered over the path and road. "I could even feel the floor moving a bit, it happened really fast, but it was so loud I'd never heard anything like that."Police were immediately called to the pub at around 10.35pm and cordoned off the area.

The bend in the road nearby is known as an accident hotspot, with calls from locals for the speed limit to be reduced.
