A 17-YEAR-OLD boy from Sidcup who was killed in a car accident has been named.

The teenager has not been officially identified by police but he has been named on the News Shopper website and a Facebook group as Craig Duffett.

He was a passenger in a red Ford Focus when it overturned at around 12.15am on Saturday morning (August 30) and died at the scene.

Two other passengers and the driver were taken to hospital after the incident in Stelling Minnis, near Canterbury.

They have all since been released from hospital.

Craig was my classmate at orpington college last year. He was a good lad, as he seemed to me. Never deserved to die like that. Im just wondering how life come be suuch pointless if you don't use it in the right way. I was to hang out with him by going McDonalds for example and cracking jokes about everything really. I always laughed when I was with him. Im gonna miss you big fella. Stay in PEACE.
