Police investigating after a silver Mercedes collided with two parked vehicles last weekend and then drove away are appealing for information.

The incident happened on the A272 Station Road in Cowfold, West Sussex at around 8.45pm on Sunday (December 5).

The Mercedes left the scene and was found abandoned further up the road near a farm.

Officers are keen to talk to a woman driving a small car who is understood to have picked up the Mercedes driver.

PC Steve Lambeth from the Sussex Police Roads Policing Unit said: “I am keen to trace the female driver of a small silver vehicle who is reported to have picked up the driver of the Mercedes and given him a lift.

“It is not believed the two were known to each other and she could be a useful witness to assist us in identifying the driver.”

Anyone with information is asked to email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 1134 of 5/12.
