He is still being treated there and his condition was described as serious but not life-threatening.
The suspect has been released on bail until Tuesday 12 April.
He handed himself in at Brighton Police Station in John Street on Saturday where he was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
Sussex Police urged any witnesses to call 0845 6070999.
Er, we do NOT live in Moulsecoomb, we live in Higher Bevendean. Widdicombe Way, and it does matter because sadly Moulsecoomb still has a bad rep. I like the idea of a local news site, well done. If I pick up an interesting story I will let you know, was a journalist for many years in previous career. Did you know that there’s an open meeting in the old Bevendean pub – where the accident reported above took place – on Saturday because it has been purchased as a community building?
