Police want to hear from anyone with dash cam footage of the crash, or the Golf, or a red Audi A3 being driven in the area prior to the crash.

A Sussex police spokesman added: ‘The road was closed in both directions for several hours while investigations were carried out, and we’d like to thank the public for their patience and understanding.’
