The family of 20-year-old woman who died following a car crash late last night have paid tribute to their "beautiful girl".

Darcy Bruce-Lawrence was the passenger in a black Vauxhall Meriva which was involved in a collision with a black VW Touareg in East Hill Road, Dartford, at around 11.45pm yesterday.

An air ambulance and paramedics were called but Darcy could not be saved and died at the scene.

Her mother, Donna Bruce, was also seriously injured in the accident.

She was taken to King's College Hospital in London where she is now in a stable condition.

Darcy, daughter of the late Tony Lawrence, from Dartford, is survived by her three brothers, baby sister, stepfather Darren Newsome and her partner Ben Jones.

Her relatives say the tragedy has left them "absolutely broken."

A spokesman for the family said: "Darcy was the most beautiful girl you could ever wish to know. She was kind, thoughtful, funny and an amazing sister to baby Lula, and her brothers Ty, Albie and Billy.

"She loved to travel - especially with her beloved Ben.
