A pedestrian who was hit by a vehicle that failed to stop has died, police have confirmed.

His next-of-kin have been informed and are receiving support from specially trained officers, Sussex Police said.

Anyone who saw a white vehicle with a broken headlight and a missing nearside wing mirror is asked to get in touch.

The force is also keen to hear from any garages that have been asked to repair such damage since Sunday.
