Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the silver Mercedes C220 in the moments before the collision or may have dash-cam footage.

Flowers were attached to a sign by the Three Crutches roundabout

The road was shut for hours before reopening by 10am.

Lee Buckingham, who lives on Sharfleet Drive, which backs onto the roundabout was woken up by the emergency services, whilst his son heard a bang.

"There must have been 20 cars out there," he said.

"We were up because there were lights. I would say there were there from 2am."

Any witnesses should call the police appeal line on 01622 798538 quoting RY/SM/022/19.

Alternatively they can email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk.
