Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision on Ditchling Road, Brighton. Officers were called to the scene around 11:15 am on Friday, July 19, after reports of a motorcyclist seriously injured in the road.
Tragically, the motorcyclist, a 58-year-old man from East Grinstead, was declared dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
The police are actively investigating the incident and are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or who may have seen either a white Yamaha motorcycle or a silver Suzuki Jimny being driven in the area around that time to come forward.
A 68-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman from Steyning have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop after a road accident. They have both been released on bail while enquiries continue.
Detectives are keen to hear from any witnesses or anyone with relevant information or dash cam footage. Those with information are asked to contact the police online or by calling 101, quoting Operation Ottawa.
