Two men have escaped serious injury after the light aircraft they were in crashed in East Sussex.

The plane, which is believed to have taken off from Hampshire, came down in a field in Framfield, near Uckfield, shortly after 1530 BST.

Sussex Police said one of the men on board needed treatment for a thumb injury but they were otherwise unhurt.

A police spokesman said the men "locked up the plane and walked to the nearest farm" immediately after the crash.
