A 19-year-old man who was involved in a late night car crash has died.

Alex Jackson, from Brighton, died earlier today in hospital due to injuries sustained in a car accident just after midnight in the early hours of Friday morning.

The other two passengers Chantelle Marriott, 18, Scott Hammond, 22, and driver Sharief Ruhomally, 29, known as Mo, remain in a serious condition in hospital.

The four  colleagues, who all work at Poundstrecher, were injured in a two-car crash near Brighton Racecourse.

The collision was between their blue BMW 318L and a blue-and-white Skoda taxi travelling southwest.

The 26-year-old Skoda driver, also from Brighton, had minor injuries and was able to raise the alarm.
