The police are now appealing for witnesses to come forward with information about the crash.

Those vehicles were a Land Rover, a Volkswagen ID3, a Volkswagen Golf, and a Ford Transit Custom van.
The driver of the Volkswagen ID3, a 53-year-old man from Brighton and the passenger, an 82-year-old woman from East Sussex, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the Land Rover, a 30-year-old woman from Wiltshire, has been arrested under suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and remains in police custody.
