A 15-year-old boy has been airlifted to hospital with serious head injuries following a collision in the South Downs in West Sussex.

The teenager was a passenger in an orange Caterham 7 that left the B2141 at Harting Hill at around 9.30am on Saturday (October 24th).

The vehicle collided with a tree and went down an embankment just south of the junction with the B2146.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to the collision - on the road between Chichester and Petersfield - and in particular, walkers in the area who assisted the occupants before the arrival of the emergency services.

They would also like to hear from anyone who may have captured dash cam footage of the car, which was travelling southbound followed by a green Lamborghini that also stopped at the scene.

Those with information are asked to email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101 quoting Operation Milltown.
