Sussex Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses to a fatal collision which happened on the A27 Chichester bypass at about 11.40pm on Wednesday 10 February.

A black Volkswagen Golf, heading towards Chichester, on the Sussex /Hampshire border, crashed into the central reservation.

The driver, a 25-year-old man from Havant, died at scene.

His passenger, a 19-year-old man from Havant, suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

TWO SUSPECTS

A 20-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, both from Havant, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

They've since been released on conditional bail until 10 March, pending further enquiries.
