Flowers have been left at the scene of a fatal crash on a busy street in Gravesend.

Police were called at 5.25pm on Saturday to reports a female pedestrian and a silver Mercedes had collided on the A226 Milton Road.

The woman, in her 30s, died from her injuries.

Witnesses to the crash are being urged to come forward.

Officers from the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit are investigating the incident.

But it is believed they are still yet to make an arrest.

A Milton Road resident, who wished to remain anonymous said she was not surprised that an accident had happened on the road.

She said: "We've had three accidents in the past year, all including cars, but no deaths.

"Saturday was the first death and I've been here for seven years. I wasn't surprised to hear there had been another accident, but I was surprised to hear the woman had actually died."

A road used by buses and people making their way in and out of Gravesend town centre, Milton Road also has two crossings a zebra crossing and a crossing with traffic lights.

Both of which were only yards away from the scene of the collision.

The woman, who lives directly opposite the scene of the accident said that the road had a problem with speeding traffic.

She said: "People use the crossing, but cars go too fast up this road.

"If you stand at the zebra crossing you can be there for five minutes before any cars stop for you.

"We've complained to the council and when the police come out we tell them but you might as well be talking to a brick wall.

"Nothing will happen unless something is done about the speed on this road."

Anyone who witnessed the incident and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call PC Simon Masterson on 01622 798538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk
