A YOUNG driver died in a crash on the A27 last night (Sunday).
The 22-year-old Eastbourne man was killed when his silver BMW Z3 sports cars came off the road and hit a signpost.
Emergency services were called to the A27 Polegate Bypass at 10.30pm.
The accident happened westbound, 300 metres from the A22 Cophall Roundabout.
The A27 dual carriageway was closed to traffic between the Cophall and Dittons roundabouts until 5.44am today while the incident was dealt with.
No other vehicle was involved but police wish to talk to anyone who saw what happened, who may have any relevant dash-cam footage or who noticed the BMW being driven shortly before the crash.
They are asked to contact officers online or call 101, quoting Operation Governor, as soon as possible.
