<p>A man has died after an ambulance left a country road in poor weather conditions and careered into a bush.</p>
<p>Police said the man, aged in his early 30s, received life-threatening injuries when his Mini was in a crash with a flatbed highways vehicle carrying road equipment.</p>
<p>The accident happened on the A271 Boreham Street, near Herstmonceux, Eastbourne, East Sussex, just before 2.30pm on Friday, Sussex Police said.</p>
<p>Due to the severity of the Mini driver&#8217;s injuries, both the ambulance crew members treated him in the back of the ambulance while a road policing officer drove it to the Eastbourne District General Hospital.</p>
<p>But about 20 minutes later the ambulance crashed into a bush on Standard Hill, Ninfield.</p>
<p>The Sussex Police helicopter and Kent Air Ambulance attended the second crash but the Mini driver, from Horam, was pronounced dead.</p>
<p>One of the ambulance crew was treated at hospital for minor injuries.</p>
<p>A police spokesman said it was &#8220;normal practice&#8221; in such incidents for road policing officers to drive ambulances when additional medical help was needed.</p>
<p>The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) was contacted by Sussex Police and asked for the inquiry to continue locally before a decision about any involvement by the police watchdog can be made on Monday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a 36-year-old man from St Leonards-on-sea, who was driving the highways vehicle operated by a contractor on behalf of East Sussex County Council, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. He is in custody.</p>
