A doctor from Swanley has been named as the second woman killed in a fatal crash.

Dr Habiba Hajallie, 35, affectionately known as Bee, has been named by her family after she died on Monday in the M20 crash which also left a man injured.

In a statement released by the family today, they said Bee was a "true NHS hero" who had" selflessly sacrificed" by being away from her family during the pandemic as she worked on the covid frontline.

The mother-of-one was described as having an "infectious personality" and they said she leaves behind an "irreplaceable void".

Bee was working at the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford when she died.

She lived in Swanley with her fiance Adam Linnell and their five-year-old daughter.

Her family released a statement today in which they said: "Words cannot describe how she will be missed by her five-year-old daughter, mother, father, fiancé, brothers, sisters, grandmothers and extensive family and friends.

"Bee was a Consultant Geriatrician at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford and had been a doctor for nearly 10 years.

"She selflessly sacrificed by being away from her family for nearly a year on the frontline during the Covid-19 pandemic as a true NHS Hero.

"Bee had a passion and dedication for teaching and mentoring the next generation of doctors and invested a large amount of time in developing the new student training programme for East Kent.

"She was the most selfless person that everyone knew and was consistently involved in charity work for orphan children in Sierra Leone, amongst others.

"Bee was loved by everyone who was fortunate enough to know her, she had an infectious personality and her sense of humour was out of this world.

"She loved to cook and host, she was the life of the party and no one was ever left hungry. Bee was exceedingly loyal to her family and friends, and she was always the first to give help and support, going above and beyond whenever it was needed.

"Bee’s death is a huge loss to her family and friends, she leaves behind an irreplaceable void and will be remembered as a special soul by all that she met. Details for a celebration of Bee’s life will be shared in due course.

"The family ask that you respect their privacy at this difficult time."

Bee also worked at the ellenor hospice in Gravesend and a spokesman has since paid tribute to their team member.

An online statement read: "With the deepest regret, we share the devastating news of the death of our very own Doctor Habiba Hajallie who was tragically killed in a road traffic accident.

"Our thoughts go out to Habiba Hajallie's family and friends at this devastating time. Dr Bee will be greatly missed by us all."

Earlier today, Lisa Webber was named by her father as the other woman to die in the four-vehicle crash.

He took to social media to thank a team of tree surgeons who helped with first aid at the scene.

He said: "Your guys were involved with assisting first aid and CPR at a road traffic accident on M20 yesterday.

"Our daughter was one of the fatalities yesterday.

"We'd like to meet your guys to thank them and help us be at peace and lay our daughter Lisa Webber to rest."

The collision happened at around 8.20am on the hard shoulder of the coastbound carriageway between junctions 1 for Swanley M25 and junction 2 for Wrotham A20.

It is reported that four vehicles were involved in the incident, including a grey Infiniti Q30 Sport, a black BMW X5, a black VW Golf and a white Iveco Daily van.

Police attended, along with paramedics and fire crews.

On another social media post, director of Oxleas Tree Care, Jake Loader thanked his team for stopping and performing CPR while they waited for the emergency services to arrive.

The post read: "We are immensely proud of how these chaps at Oxleas Tree Care team coped yesterday when faced with an extremely harrowing incident on the M20.

"As the teams were travelling to their job a horrific traffic accident unfolded in front of them.

"Thankfully, the team are all fully trained in emergency first aid situations and carry specialist first aid equipment onboard.

"Our team were first on hand to deal with the situation, and without hesitation, they coned the road, managed the traffic and selflessly carried out emergency first aid including CPR to the casualties before the paramedics and emergency services arrived at the scene.

"They continued to follow instructions from the police and paramedics on their arrival, dealing with situations that no one would ever want to deal with.

"Thank you to FR Jones for discounting replacement PPE and first aid kits lost at the scene.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and their loved ones."

Mark Heap was one of the other people involved in the crash.

He and his friend were driving back home to Essex from Brands Hatch where they had been the night before for a race night.

The 55-year-old was driving along the M20 when he saw a car get hit and spin out to the crash barrier.

He and another car stopped and pulled over to help. They got the driver out and checked no one else was in the vehicle.

Mark said he told them to get to a safe place and went back to his van to get his friend and join them.

He said: "We went back down and we were trying to get a phone signal. We were talking but little did we know that would be her last words."

The dad-of-three said as the group were in the process of moving to safety another car came down the road and hit them, pushing him up against the crash barrier.

"It was a shock," he added. "A group of tree surgeons pulled over to help. They were good lads and doing the best they could in the circumstances.

"It has been eye-opening. You have got to value life. I am still here. In nine to 10 weeks I should be recovered but those girls do not have that."

The self-employed builder said the ambulance took around 40 minutes to arrive and said he believed it was due to the road circumstances at the time and was "no fault of theirs."

In the crash, Mark broke a bone in his back and one of his legs and is still recovering in hospital but hopes to return home in the next few days.

As he will not be able to work for a few months, his family have set up a GoFundMe page to help. You can donate here.

Motorists who were travelling in both directions of the M20 are urged to check for any dashcam footage, which may assist the investigation.

Drivers should particularly check footage between 8.15am and 8.20am and can upload dashcam via the online portal, here.
