Two youngsters who tragically died when their car hit a tree have been named locally.

Amy Clark, 17, from Ashford, was with 20-year-old boyfriend Rob Wiltshire, from Maidstone, when their Ford Fiesta left the road and crashed on Saturday night.

A shocked passing motorist discovered the damaged vehicle on the Maidstone-bound side of the A20 between Ashford and Maidstone just after 10pm.

Both the driver and passenger were pronounced dead at the scene, and next of kin have been informed.
