A man died and a teenager was seriously injured in a crash in West Sussex.

The 25-year-old from Havant, Hampshire, was driving a Volkswagen Golf on the A27 near Chichester, when it crashed at about 23:40 GMT on Wednesday. He was declared dead at the scene.

A passenger, a 19-year-old man from Havant, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

A 20-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, both from Havant, remain in police custody.

The road was closed in both directions between Fishbourne and Emsworth while investigations were carried out, but it has since reopened.

Anyone with dashcam footage of the Golf being driven before the crash is asked to contact Sussex Police.
