The road was closed for several hours but reopened at about 10.30am.

Sergeant Richard Hornsey, of the Sussex Police serious collision investigation unit, said: “We are appealing for the driver of a light-coloured estate car that was travelling west on Teville Road and turned right at the roundabout into South Farm Road towards the level crossing to contact us.
