A dad from Dartford has sadly died after a four-car A-road crash, and his two-year-old son is currently in hospital in fighting for his life.
The incident saw a collision between a blue Ford Fiesta, a white Renault Master, a silver Toyota Estima and a grey Honda on the A267 at Frant at about 11.11am on Wednesday, August 18.
A 36-year-old man from Dartford, Kent, who was driving the Ford, was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident.
His son and sole passenger - a two-year-old also from Dartford, sustained serious head injuries and was airlifted to King's College Hospital in London.
The boy is still in hospital and remains in critical condition.
Police say a section of the road has been temporarily closed while investigations take place.
They are also urging any witnesses to get in touch immediately.
Officers are particularly keen to hear from the driver of the grey Honda car, which failed to stop.
A spokesman for Sussex Police said: "We'd like to thank the public for their patience and understanding while we carried out vital investigative work at the scene."
Police are now urging any witnesses to the crash to come forward. This includes people who may have captured any of the vehicles on dashcam.
