Police launch appeal after Horsham man trapped between two vehicles suffers ‘potentially life-changing injuries’

Sussex Police said the incident involving a blue Mitsubishi Shogun occurred in Canberra Road about 7am on Tuesday May 26.

He added: “Anyone who saw what happened – specifically anyone with dash cam, CCTV or mobile phone footage which may have captured the incident – or anyone who saw a blue Mitsubishi Shogun being driven in the area shortly beforehand, is urged to email [email protected] quoting serial 265 of 26/05.”
