Motorcyclist Suffers Life-Altering Injuries in Horror A23 Crash
Just before 6pm on Saturday, emergency crews scrambled to the A23 northbound near the B2115 Cuckfield Lane junction at Warninglid. A 61-year-old man from Colchester, Essex, crashed his black Yamaha cruiser-style bike into the central barrier.
