A young man was fighting for life today after he was in collision with a car as he strolled along a seafront footpath.

The 28-year-old was admitted to intensive care at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings after the accident near Hastings Pier last night.

A Honda Integra driven by a 21-year-old local man, was travelling west along Hastings seafront just west of the pier at 10.20pm.
