A MOTORCYCLIST has died more than two weeks after a crash on the M23.
Police have issued a further appeal for witnesses to the fatal crash, after which a man was arrested for drug-driving.
Chi Hung Wong sustained serious injuries during the collision with a Citroen C4 on the M23 southbound carriageway near Pease Pottage.
The 31-year-old, from Brighton, was taken to hospital at 9.10pm on Wednesday, October 20, but has since died.
His next of kin have been informed and the cause of the collision remains under investigation.
The driver of the Citroen C4 was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.
The 55-year-old, from Worthing, has been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
Officers are urging anyone who saw what happened or captured any relevant footage on dash cam – in particular any lorry drivers – to email collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting Op Maywood.
A section of the road was closed in both directions due to the adverse weather conditions at the time of the incident.
