Floral tributes have been left on the A2 in the wake of a crash which killed two young people.

Two passengers, a man and a woman in their 20s, were pronounced dead at the scene following the collision near Dartford Heath.

The driver was taken to a London hospital with serious injuries.

It happened at around 10.30am on Saturday when a black BMW M3 travelling towards the slip road left the carriageway and overturned.

Police attended the scene along with South East Coast Ambulance Service and the air ambulance.

Tributes have since been paid to the two passengers, named locally as Becky and Tom.

Bouquets of brightly coloured flowers, cartoon characters and handwritten notes have also been left on the overpass above the scene.

One read: "We will keep you forever in our hearts and prayers, life won't be the same without you both.

"We will keep going strong for you and we can never forget the joy that you both brought to our lives.

"Words cannot describe how truly heartbroken we are that we will never see you both again."

It adds: "The memories we shared will be locked into our hearts and wecannot thank you for everything you have done for providing us all strength.

"Your legacies will live forever and we will all do you so proud."

The road was closed all day, but both carriageways had reopened by 9.30pm.

The tragedy occurred just hours after another young man died early the same morning, after being hit by a lorry.

Police and ambulance crews were called to the A228 between Malling Road and Rocfort Road in Snodland just after 5.30am.

A yellow DAF articulated tanker was involved in the collision with a pedestrian on the Rochester-bound carriageway.
