Portslade Motorcyclist Sentenced To 22 Months In Prison For Fatal High-speed Race

A motorcycle rider involved in a tragic incident last year has been sentenced to 22 months in prison for dangerous driving. Aaron Barrett, 32, was observed reaching dangerously high speeds while racing another motorcycle rider through Fox Way, Portslade, in April.

Witnesses reported that the two men seemed to be racing each other, with one describing their speed as “crazy.” Tragically, the other rider, a 33-year-old man from Southwick, Brighton, collided with an oncoming vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Barrett was seriously injured in the incident and was arrested while recovering in the hospital.
