“Following surgery he was transferred to St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester where he is now recovering.”
PC Doug Park from the road policing investigation team said: “We believe that the red Seat may have been parked up near to where the collision happened in the time leading up to it. We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen it anywhere in the area just before midnight on that Sunday evening (July 5).”
If anyone did see either of the cars involved or witnessed the collision or its immediate aftermath, they should email [email protected] or call 101 quoting Operation Foley.
