A man has been arrested after a woman died in a crash near an industrial estate in East Sussex.
Emergency services were called to Davigdor Road, Hove, at about 00:20 BST on Thursday following a report that a person had been hit by a car.
A woman in her 40s was pronounced dead at the scene and her next of kin have been informed, police said.
A 28-year-old man from Brighton has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving a vehicle without insurance or a driving licence.
He has since been released on bail while inquiries continue.
Davigdor Road has since re-opened following an earlier road closure.
