Sussex Police are appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision on the A2032 in Worthing that left an 89-year-old woman dead on 12 May.
The serious incident involved a BMW and a Ford Focus Estate at around 1.35pm, with emergency services attending the scene promptly. Despite the efforts of emergency crews, the elderly passenger in the BMW died at the scene. Her family has been informed of the tragic loss.
The 21-year-old driver of the Ford Focus was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
Authorities closed the A2032 in both directions between Lindum Road and the roundabout connecting The Boulevard and Durrington Lane while emergency teams worked at the scene. This closure caused significant local traffic disruption.
Sussex Police are urging anyone with dashcam, CCTV, mobile phone, or doorbell footage from the area around the time of the collision to come forward. Witnesses can report information directly to Sussex Police or email quoting Operation Westfield.
The police emphasise the importance of public assistance in piecing together the events leading up to the collision to support the ongoing inquiry into this tragic death.
