Hundreds of people lined the streets today to say goodbye to a teenager who died following a crash on the A249.

Georgia Mann, from Milton Regis, died after the accident near Bobbing, near Sittingbourne, on Wednesday, October 24 last year.

The 15-year-old was a back seat passenger in a car that had broken down when it was struck from behind by a van shortly before midnight.

She was rushed to London’s King’s College Hospital, where she died two days later.

Today, the streets near Westlands Secondary School – where Georgia was a pupil – were lined with people wishing to pay their respects.

A horse-drawn white carriage passed those who had gathered with balloons along London Road, Sittingbourne, before heading to a private ceremony.

Georgia's family started a campaign in December to raise awareness of staying safe when broken down to prevent others from losing someone they love in a similar way.

They had bags made with the hashtag #ifthecarbreaksdownGET OUT, with a hi vis vest and two foil thermal blankets inside.

Georgia's sister Sammy Law said their main message to people was to get out of the car if it breaks down.

The 26-year-old, who lives in Tunbridge Wells, continued: "Our aim is to have every car on the roads to have breakdown safety bags and every person who gets into a car to know what to do to keep safe. It means everything to me.

"Every time I’ve been told people have got out of their car, I feel a massive wave of happiness, and knowing Georgia’s death will save lives and have such a positive affect on the country gives me such comfort."
