Sussex Police have named the woman as Samantha Cove, of Brook House Flat, High Street, Henfield.

Ms Cove was airlifted to St George’s Hospital in Tooting, London, in a critical condition following a collision on Saddlescombe Road, which links Devils Dyke Road in Brighton with the A281 at Poynings, on Saturday October 4.

His wife suffered chest injuries and he and his son slight injuries. They were treated at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton.
