Sam Leech, 30, of Petworth Road, Haslemere, Surrey, was racing his blue Rover car east on the B2131 in Linchmere on the Sussex Hampshire border at 5.30pm on 16 April 2011 against another vehicle. He overtook another car on the brow of a hill colliding with an oncoming car driven by a 17-year-old girl from Linchmere. Both Leech and the girl were taken to hospital with minor injuries. The third vehicle was never traced. Leech was later arrested and charged with dangerous driving. He pleaded not guilty to the charge and appeared at Chichester Crown court today. He was found guilty of dangerous driving by a jury, and the judge was minded to give Leech an immediate custodial sentence, however as he had no previous convictions, he received a 12-month custodial sentence suspended for two years, was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to take an extended re-test. He was also ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work and pay £500 towards prosecution costs.

The Volkswagen Golf was spotted by another driver shortly after 3.30am, but police believe that the crash may have happened some time before that. The driver, a 20-year-old man from Handcross, was sadly found dead in the wreckage. He has been named as Jay Ansell, 20, of Truggers, Handcross. Sergeant Stewart Goodwin from the Sussex Police Road Policing Unit said: "The vehicle had cooled down when we arrived, so I believe that it could have left the road some time earlier. We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the car off the B2036 Cuckfield Road at any time before 3.30am. "It has been necessary for us to close the road while rescue and recovery work takes place and Highways will need to clean the road before we are able to re-open it. I should like to thank people living locally and other users of the road for their patience and understanding while this is carried out." The road remained closed at 10.30am. Anyone who saw the car driving in the area or off the road where it crashed is asked to call Sussex Police on 101 quoting Operation Southcott or e-mail collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk F&RS Call Ref: 15524 Time: 03:56- 04:54 Location: B2036 ANSTY Incident: RTC FATAL involving car in collision with tree - male driver released by WSF&RS using hydraulic rescue equipment - sadly confirmed the driver was deceased at the scene - ambulance and police crash investigation team in attendance WrL x2 Haywards Heath, WrL Burgess Hill, HRT Crawley, WrL Crawley F&RS Call Ref: 15528 Time: 08:18-12:04 Location: HOUSE - TOTT LANE OFF HASSOCKS ROAD, HURSTPIERPOINT Incident: FLOODING Weather Related Flooding - flood water affecting ground floor of house and adjoining garage - electrics isolated before arrival of WSF&RS - water pumped by WSF&RS and salvage carried out to ground floor of house WrL Hurstpierpoint F&RS Call Ref: 15541 Time: 13:32-14:06 Location: A283 PETWORTH Incident: RTC collision involving 2 cars - no persons trapped - scene made safe by WSF&RS - incident left with police WrL Petworth F&RS Call Ref: 15559 Time: 23:57-00:19 Location: OUTSIDE HOUSE - FASTNET WAY, LITTLEHAMPTON Incident: FIRE 5 metres of hedging alight - 2HRs used by WSF&RS -deliberate ignition - WrL Littlehampton return to previous window F&RS Call Ref: 15564 Time: 02:59-03:58 Location: CARE HOME - FABIANS WAY, HENFIELD Incident: FIRE in 1st floor light fitting - building heavily smoke logged - 3 persons assisted from building by WSF&RS using breathing apparatus - 6BA, 2HRs, thermal imaging camera and PPV fan used - total of 7 persons taken to hospital by ambulance for precautionary checks - accidental WrL Henfield, WrL Partridge Green, WrL Hurstpierpoint, WrL Steyning, Cu Bognor F&RS Call Ref: 15566 Time: 03:23-03:50 Location: FRONT GARDEN OF HOUSE - MITFORD WALK, BEWBUSH, CRAWLEY Incident: FIRE 1 trailer tent severely damaged by fire - 1HR by WSF&RS - deliberate ignition - WrL Crawley, L4T Crawley F&RS Call Ref: 15557 Time: 06:54-07:41 Location: A282 HORSHAM Incident: RTC collision involving 5 cars on icy road - no persons trapped - cars made safe by WSF&RS - police in attendance WrL Horsham POLICE report - Ref: PR41357 / 2013 Report time: 23:10 Location: East Ashling, near Chichester Incident: Murder enquiry launched after woman found dead A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a woman was found at a house in East Ashling, near Chichester, this morning, January 28.
