Sussex Police are appealing for witnesses to a fatal collision on the A27 in Falmer.

Emergency services were called around 10.35am this morning to reports of a collision involving a coach and a pedestrian.

The pedestrian, a 23-year-old man from Brighton, was sadly confirmed dead at the scene.

The road was closed for a number of hours while emergency services responded to the scene and police have since thanked the public for their patience during that time.

An investigation's underway and they're now asking witnesses or anyone with relevant information, such as dashcam or mobile phone footage, to come forward and refrain from posting any footage on social media.

Information can be reported to Sussex Police online, by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting Operation Colwyn.
