Tributes have been paid following a collision involving a car in Chichester in which two teenagers sadly died.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the collision which took place in Kennel Road, Chichester, in the early hours of last Thursday (March 3).
The teens have been named locally as 17-year-old Josh Dilloway and 18-year-old Jack Chambers.
The driver and a passenger in the vehicle – both 17-yearold girls – were also taken to hospital for treatment for their serious injuries.
Jack, who worked parttime at the Aerodrome Café at Goodwood, has been described by Goodwood’s entertaining and hospitality managing director as ‘exceptionally wonderful’ and hardworking in a touching tribute to the young man.
Andrew Coggings said: “Jack was an exceptionally wonderful young man, who had his whole life ahead of him.
“He was an unfailingly polite, popular and hardworking member of the Aerodrome Café team at Goodwood, where he worked at weekends alongside his mother.
“The team at the Aerodrome café are a tightknit group and Jack’s energy and enthusiasm will be greatly missed.
“Our thoughts are with Jack’s family and friends at this sad time.”
According to social media, a memorial event was held at the Trundle last week with friend and family of Josh and Jack attending to pay their respects.
