A 19-YEAR-OLD passenger was killed and two drivers seriously injured in a car crash.

The collision, between a black Vauxhall Corsa and a silver Ford Focus, happened at 8.35pm on December 30 in Green Street, Dartford, between Princes Road and Gore Road.

The Corsa passenger died at the scene while its 20-year-old driver and the 35-year-old driver of the Ford were taken to Darent Valley Hospital, Darenth Wood Road, Dartford.

Dartford and Gravesend fire crews had to free the victims from the wreckage.

Fire station spokesman David Boakes said: "The man who died suffered horrific injuries and it is quite likely he would have died instantly.

"It is also likely the adverse weather conditions had some part to play in the incident."

Witnesses should call investigating officer PC Alan Hooper on 01622 798 5377.
