A man died after his car careered off a road and into a fence.

Police today said it was possible the 53-year-old man may have fallen ill at the wheel of his Renault.

The car left the A259 at Pevensey Bay on Saturday before crashing into a fence.

The man, from Pevensey Bay, was taken to Eastbourne District General Hospital but died later from his injuries.

A police spokesman said: "There is a possibility that he may have fallen ill at the wheel but at the moment that has not been confirmed."

Identification details will be released once next of kin have been informed.
