A MOTORCYCLIST has died after colliding with a Range Rover on the A272 near Petworth.
A blue Range Rover was travelling southwest through Strood Green when it turned right into a driveway about 7.55pm yesterday.
A black Kawasaki travelling in the opposite direction collided with the Range Rover, and despite the best efforts of passing members of the public and paramedics, the 27-year-old rider from Southwater was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver – a 55-year-old man from Wisborough Green – was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and driving while unfit through drink or drugs.
He remains in police custody at this time.
A spokesman from Sussex Police said: "Anyone who saw what happened or captured it on dash cam – or anyone who saw the manner of driving/riding of either vehicle beforehand – is urged to email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting Operation Bombay."
