TRIBUTE messages have been left on a social networking website in memory of a motorist killed in a car crash.
Louie Blackwood, of New Road, Dartford, died when the white BMW Mini Cooper he was driving hit a wall in Essex.
The 21-year-old, who went to Hextable School in Egerton Avenue, was pronounced dead at the scene in Billericay at around 12.50am on May 24.
A 21-year-old woman from the Chadwell St Mary area who was also travelling in the car sustained serious injuries in the accident.
She has since been discharged from hospital.
The tribute group set up online called ‘Xx R.I.P Louie Blackwood xX’, has more than 500 members and describes Louie as “a much loved Friend, Son & Family Member, who will be Greatly Missed”.
In one of the 175 messages left online, Debbie Dow said: “Louie, its took me a few days 2write this as no words can even express wot any1 has 2say... howeva, I want u 2no that u r 1 in a million. god cudn't have chosen a nicer/cheekier/more handsome/more loyal friend &young man, than u!”
