Two people were killed when a Ford Fiesta swerved off a road in Kent and landed in an ice-cold river.

A third person from the same car has been taken to hospital following the incident near the village of Iwade.

One of the victims is believed to be a young girl, whose boyfriend is thought to have been injured.

Friends of the girl were seen leaving flowers and other tributes at the scene, with one saying she had ‘known her all her life’.
