A man has died after a head-on collision while attempting to overtake.
A 40-year-old man from East Sussex driving a red Volkswagon Golf was overtaking a car on the B2102 between Cross In Hand and Blackboys at around 3.30pm yesterday afternoon.
After completing the manoeuvre the Golf and black Mini Cooper that was also overtaking both swerved and the Golf collided with a van travelling on the other side of the road.
Police now want to speak to the driver of the Mini and of the car being overtaken.
Officers say they are not being treated as suspects at this time but should contact them on 101 quoting Operation Northman or serial 0999 of May 17.
