Hunt for man with Brighton links after A27 12-car crash
Marcus Cresswell is wanted by police after failing to attend court to face charges in connection with the crash, which took place in Worthing in October 2021.
The 34-year-old was detained by members of the public after allegedly driving a Ford Transit van through queuing traffic on the A27 on October 1, 2021, causing multiple crashes and minor injuries to a number of drivers and passengers in other vehicles.
The Crown Prosecution Service subsequently authorised charging him with failing to stop at a road traffic collision, driving without insurance, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, dangerous driving, failing to provide a specimen for analysis and criminal damage (to a police cell).
