TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a man was killed in a late night horror crash.
The 25-year-old man from Havant was driving a black Volkswagen Golf east towards Chichester at about 11.40pm when he was involved in the fatal collision.
The sole passenger in the car, a 19-year-old man also from Havant, suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital.
