A van driver from Firle has died almost five months after he was involved in an accident during a freak storm.

David Rowsell, 69, died at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton on Saturday.

His camper van was involved in a collision with a Jaguar on the A27 near the Beddingham railway crossing on September 9.

He was taken to hospital with a broken hip, leg, knee and ankle.

A 35-year-old man and a dog were both killed in the collision, which occurred during extreme weather.

An inquest into Mr Rowsell's death has been opened and adjourned.
