The motorcycle rider was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton with serious, potentially life-threatening injuries.

Officers would like to hear from anyone who saw what happened, or who may have captured any relevant dashcam footage.

Anyone with information is asked to email collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk or call 101 quoting Operation Littlebrook.
