Police Appeal for Witnesses Following Fatal Collision at Long Furlong

Kia driver pronounced dead at the scene after collision with lorry; investigation ongoing.

Police are appealing for witnesses and information after a fatal collision occurred on the A280 at Long Furlong early Monday morning. The incident, which took place shortly before 6am on September 9, involved a Kia Sportage and a lorry.

Tragically, the driver of the Kia was pronounced deceased at the scene. The lorry driver, a man in his 50s, sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Officers are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision, and a section of the A280 between the A24 at Findon and the A27 at Durrington remains closed while they work.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has relevant information, such as dashcam footage from the area at the time, is urged to report it to Sussex Police. Information can be submitted online or by emailing collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk, quoting Operation Hemsworth.
