Police are appealing for witnesses to a Christmas Eve crash in which a pedestrian was seriously injured in Worthing.

On Friday night on 24th December, a motor-cycle crashed into the 46-year-old male pedestrian in Brighton Road, Worthing.

The pedestrian was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton with serious head injuries.

The 21-year-old man riding the motorcycle sustained minor injuries and was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and drug driving. After being interviewed he was released under investigation.
