Family members have since left tributes at the scene to Darcy, from South East London.

One message read: "Darcy, forever in our hearts. Sleep well."

Meanwhile officers are appealing for information into the crash, which happened at around 10.50pm.

Officers say a red Polo GTI had been travelling towards Farningham, when it was involved in a collision with a white Mercedes Sprinter travelling in the opposite direction.

Four other occupants in the Polo were taken to hospital where two remain, one in a serious but stable condition and the other in a stable condition.
