The collision took place around the eastern end of the traffic island in the middle of the road.

Police closed Flansham Road from its junction with Flansham Park to the Southdowns Hotel at the Middleton Road roundabout.

Traffic was diverted through Flansham Park and Middleton Road but lengthy queues built up of the peak-time traffic.

The road closures remained in place until about 7pm.

PC Jon Bennion-Jones, of the police road policing unit at Chichester, has asked witnesses of the crash to contact him on 0845 60 70 999, quoting Operation Goldwick.
