The family of a man who died following a fatal collision on the M27 this month have paid tribute to him.
We were called shortly after 12.30pm on Wednesday 21 February to reports of a serious multi-vehicle collision at junction five.
The collision involved a Mercedes lorry, Nissan Juke and Volkswagen Polo.
Sadly, the driver of the lorry, 36-year-old Michal Kaminski from Salisbury, Wiltshire, was pronounced dead at the scene.
His family are being supported by specially trained officers and are now issuing the following statement:
"In loving memory of Michal Kaminski, who died in a tragic crash on the M27 on 21st of February 2024.
"You will always be in our hearts and we will always remember you smiling.
"Loving family and friends."
The police investigation into the collision is ongoing.
A 32-year-old man from Yapton, Arundel, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and of drink driving.
A 40-year-old woman from Littlehampton was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, of drink driving, and of drug driving.
A 37-year-old man from Littlehampton was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
All three have since been released on bail until 21 May while enquiries continue to establish the circumstances that led to this collision.
