Tributes to father of three killed in crash near Worthing
Chris Fountain's car collided with a lorry earlier this month
A man who was killed in a crash in West Sussex has been described by his family as a 'devoted husband and father to three amazing boys'.
52-year-old Chris Fountain died after his Kia Sportage car and a lorry collided on the A280 Long Furlong near Worthing at around 6am on September 9th.
Chris' family have issued the following statement through Sussex Police:
"We have no words.
"Chris was a devoted husband and father to three amazing boys. Chris dedicated his life to his family and helping those around him.
"He was a coach at the Worthing Rugby Club and was committed to adding value to the club.
"Beyond his family life, he was simply a genius in the workplace. He had international businesses, and is dearly missed by his team in Chicago and the Middle East.
"There is no one like him, he was our world and we are all truly devastated.”
The lorry driver, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police closed a section of the road for two days to allow for investigation work and for the stretch to be resurfaced.
Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the crash to come forward, including those who may have dash cam footage of what happened.
