Two women involved in a double fatal crash are out of hospital and making "good recoveries".

Aimee Williams, 30, from Aylesford tragically died following a three-vehicle crash on the A272 in Sussex on Monday, March 28.

Two other women from Kent, both aged 23, were taken to hospital with serious injuries, and are now on the road to recovery after being discharged.

Following the crash, which happened at around 11.30am and involved two Ford Fiestas and a Scania lorry, Aimee's family said: "Aimee was a beautiful, happy, kind daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister and more recently devoted auntie.

"She had countless friends and work colleagues and touched the lives of many with her infectious smile and positive lust for life.

"Her tragic death has left a gaping hole in all our lives.

"We are grateful to all the first responders who attended the scene and tried to save her life.

"To lose your daughter in these circumstances is every parents' worst nightmare and our grief is unimaginable and unbearable.

"We would be grateful if people would respect our privacy at this difficult time."

Miles Scott, chief executive for Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, said: “We were devastated to hear about the death of our friend and colleague Aimee and we send our heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time.

"Aimee was a much-loved member of MTW and she will be missed by all."

She leaves behind her father, Colin, who represents Aylesford South on Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, her mother, Wendy, and sister, Mollie.

David Dawson, 83, from Worthing, was the second person to die in the fatal collision.

Paying tribute to him, his family said: “David was a much loved father to his two sons, grandfather to his four grandchildren, brother, and a popular friend to all those who knew him.

“He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.

“A retired property manager, avid golfer at Worthing Golf Club, and a lifelong Sheffield United supporter, he was for many years a volunteer at the RNLI station in Littlehampton.

“He enjoyed sport and big band music, and was a listener and supporter of the Ronnie Smith Big Band.”
