A 24-year-old man has been killed in a collision on a major route in West Sussex, before two people were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Police were called at 1.25pm on Sunday (December 6) to reports of a Lexus crashing into a tree on the A24 near Southwater.
Officers, ambulance and fire crews attended and a 24-year-old man — the passenger from the Lexus — was found to have died at the scene.
The driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.
The road was closed in both directions between Southwater and Hop Oast roundabout.
Two men, aged 19 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and were yesterday taken to custody for questioning.
Police have launched a witness appeal, and are asking anyone who witnessed the Lexus or a white Toyota being driven prior to the collision, or who has any dash-cam footage from the area around the time, to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to report online or call 101, quoting Operation Hampstead.
