A driver has been arrested in connection with a collision on the A270 Lewes Road, Brighton.
A black Jaguar was travelling southbound when it hit a pedestrian who was waiting at the bus stop at about 11.56pm yesterday (September 6).
Emergency services responded to the scene and the victim – a 24-year-old local man – was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he remains at this time.
The Jaguar came to a stop in Barcombe Road, which runs parallel to the dual carriageway.
The driver – a 42-year-old woman from Reigate in Surrey – failed a roadside breath test and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. She remains in police custody.
Sussex Police have thanked drivers for their patience and understanding while the road was closed.
Enquiries are ongoing and police are urging anyone who saw what happened – or captured it on mobile, dash cam or CCTV – to email collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk quoting Operation Thimble.
