One rider, 42, from Chichester, died when he lost control of his bike and crashed into a tree on the A268 at West Lavington near Midhurst, yesterday morning.

Police said he lost control on a left-hand bend.

The other rider, who was 63 and also from Chichester, was killed in a collision on Saturday morning.

He was riding his Kawasaki along the B2146 at Funtington, near Chichester, when he collided with a Peugeot 205.
