East Sussex fire crews helped free the injured, who were taken to hospital.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "We are keen to speak to the driver of a Black VW Golf as we believe the driver may have witnessed the accident."
Anyone with information should call the police non-emergency number 0845 60 70 999.
No further details of the accident are likely to be released until tomorrow.
Police are investigating the accident under the name Operation Buckmore.
