According to Sussex Police, a 29-year-old local man was crossing Haslett Avenue East, in Three Bridges, about 6.10pm on May 27, 2020, when he was struck by a white Audi A3 which 'failed to stop at the scene'.

"However, the following day, he attended Crawley Police Station to hand himself in.

"He was identified as Haroon Chaudhary, a computer operator, of Faulkner Close, Crawley."
