A motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in a crash on the A259 coast road yesterday morning (Tuesday 21 November).
The crash involved a Peugeot belonging to CCS Group, a commercial contract cleaning business based in Southend, and a Honda bike.
Today, Sussex Police said: “Police are appealing for witnesses to a serious collision on the A259 at Telscombe Cliffs on Tuesday morning.
“A Peugeot 207 was reported to have collided with a Honda CB650R motorcycle at around 8am, near the Smugglers Rest pub.

“An investigation is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what happened.
“If you witnessed the incident or have any relevant footage, such as from a dashcam or doorbell, please contact collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk, quoting Operation Egerton.”
Unfortunately near misses and hits are a regular occurrence especially on that entrance. People going westbound will let someone go over to head into the car park and vehicles on bus lane (taxi/moped/bike/cyclist) sometimes get overlooked. Doesn’t help that some bus lane traffic goes right up or and sometimes over 30mph to make up time when there’s traffic buildup in rush hour
What I see from driving a lot, everyday due to my business, is that the majority of motor cyclists are a danger to themself and other road users. The way they behave, speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and undertaking, etc, therefore, it is no wonder they are lots of incidents.
The motorcyclists are a danger to themselves and seem to be totally ignorant of the Highway Code. They swerve all over and are always in the wrong lanes
