Emotional tributes have been left at the scene of a New Ash Green crash in which a 56-year-old "friendly giant" died on Saturday (November 28).

The local man, named locally as Martin Ginnelly, was killed in the smash between his blue Ford KA and a green Ford Explorer - just after midnight at the junction of Ash Road and North Ash Road.

Nearly 20 colourful bouquets have since been left in the road by grieving friends, describing Mr Ginnelly as a "legend" and "one in a million".

Three suspects aged 16, 17 and 26, all from Dartford and Swanley, were arrested on Sunday for causing death by dangerous driving.

It followed a Kent Police appeal to find three men, the occupants of the Ford Explorer, who allegedly fled from the crash.

All three have been bailed until January 8, pending further enquiries by Kent Police.
