Police are investigating and ask anyone who saw what happened, or who may have seen either a white Yamaha motorcycle or a silver Suzuki Jimny being driven in the area around that time, to get in touch.
A 68-year-old man and 67-year-old woman from Steyning have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop after a road accident. They have both been released on bail while enquiries continue.
A force spokeswoman said: "Any witnesses or anyone with relevant information or dash cam footage is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting Operation Ottawa."
