Friends of a biker killed in a collision with a car in Dartford have set up a fundraising page in his memory.

The accident involving a blue Yamaha motorcycle and a dark coloured Vauxhall Insignia happened in Shepherds Lane, near Heather Drive, at just before 5pm yesterday.

The page has been set up for Ollie Sherwood, who is described as "a very much loved son, brother, dad and a friend to many".
