Tributes have been left at the site of a crash where a young man died.

Flowers, sweets, a high-viz jacket and a six-pack of Monster energy drinks have been left in Swale Way, Sittingbourne, after a 26-year-old Whitstable man died after colliding with a car.

Named locally as Ryan Rudden, tributes were left by friends and family of the young rider, with one message reading: "Ryan you will be truly missed."

Another message said: "I can't believe I'm writing this, but you was an amazing friend and we had so many laughs. Miss you brother."

A third message read: "Words cannot describe how broken we are. A brother and a friend.

"You were taken too soon but your memory will live on.

"Until we meet again brother. Rest in Peace."

Earlier today police revealed four people have been arrested following the incident, which happened near the entrance to Milton Creek fishing lakes at round 9.45pm, and involved a Honda CBR1000 and a blue Citroen C4 Picasso.

A second person on the bike, a 31-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injures, not believed to be life threatening.

Following the incident three men, aged 18, 23 and 32, and all from the Sittingbourne area, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

A woman, 34, also from the town, was arrested on suspicion of perverting the cause of justice. All four remain in custody while inquiries continue.

Two of the suspects were detained last night while two others were arrested today.

Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit want to talk to anyone who witnessed the incident or who saw the car in the moments before the crash.
