A motorcyclist involved in a road traffic collision near Worthing has sadly died.

Joshua Southgate, 20, from Broadwater, was riding a blue Yamaha which collided with a white Ford Transit Connect on the A27 westbound at Clapham, about 5.17pm on Monday 23 September.

He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he died two days later (25 September).

The van driver – a 62-year-old man from Waterlooville in Hampshire – was uninjured.

A section of the road was closed for several hours to allow for recovery and forensic examination, and we’d like to thank the public for their patience and understanding.

Anyone who saw what happened, or captured any relevant dash cam or mobile footage, is asked to email [email protected] quoting Operation Mildenhall.
