Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Two children and two adults were injured after a car veered off a seaside promenade and crashed on to a beach at Galley Hill, Bexhill in East Sussex, yesterday. A police spokesman said the car shot forward along a grass verge, struck a shelter on De La Warr Parade before veering across the promenade. It collided with iron railings along the sea front and fell 15 feet down on to the shingle beach, landing on its roof near where the two children were playing.

The four were taken to Conquest Hospital in Hastings. Police said the driver of the car and his female passenger sustained serious injuries and were being detained in hospital overnight. The children received only minor injuries after being hit by flying debris and were unlikely to be kept in hospital. The cause of the accident is not yet known. Matthew Brace
