It was one of two major incidents faced by police in less than 24 hours
Police are appealing for witnesses to two serious collisions in Sussex, one of which left a man in a life-threatening condition.
Officers were called to Priory Road shortly after 11pm on Saturday (April 24th) to a report of a black Skoda car colliding with a tree.
The driver, a man in his 60s, has been taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition. His next of kin have been informed.
A passenger in the vehicle suffered minor injuries and was also taken to hospital for treatment.
Police investigating the collision would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have seen the vehicle travelling in the area beforehand.
Officers would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have captured any relevant dash cam footage.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting Operation Crevice.
Earlier the same day, a man suffered serious injuries after a motorbike and a car collided in Billingshurst.
Police were called to the incident on Haven Road at 8.50am on Saturday.
The road was closed for much of the day between Blue Ship Road and the A281 Guildford Road to allow for investigation work to take place.
