Police say the Land Rover, which was towing a horsebox, was driven by a 58-year-old man from Berwick, who sustained minor injuries that did not require hospital treatment.

Police are continuing to seek witnesses to the crash or anyone who saw either of the two vehicles involved shortly before the collision.

In particular, officers are keen to speak to the occupants of a dark-coloured people carrier which was seen to pass over the level crossing at Berwick railway station moments before the motorcyclist.

Anyone with information is asked to email [email protected], to report details online at https://sussex.police.uk/contact-us/response-to-appeal/ or to phone 101, quoting Operation Chesterfield.
