HUNDREDS of tributes have been paid to a teenager who died after his moped collided with a lorry.
Jamie Gooda, aged 17, from Gravesend, died after the collision on the Watling Street part of the A2 at Singlewell at around 10.20pm on June 13.
Since then flowers and banners have been left at the scene and more than 500 people have joined an internet tribute group.
Jamie's older brother, Dan, left this message for him: "I'm never ever goin 2 forget u, and my first baby boy i have is gona b called jamie. u will always be in my heart and every1 elses."
