Police have named a driver who died in a rush-hour crash on the A24 last week.

Matthew Venn, 36, of Chancton Close, Worthing, died after the Volkswagen Golf he was driving was in collision with a Mercedes on the northbound carriageway at 7.15am on Friday.

The road was sealed off for more than three hours after the crash, north of the Washington roundabout, causing a five-mile tailback.

A second person was freed from the wreckage and taken to Worthing Hospital.

The person has not been named by Sussex Police, who operate data protection guidelines.
