Two cyclists have died, and a third has been injured following a collision involving a car near Gravesend.
Emergency services were called to Sole Street in Cobham at around 7.47am on Sunday, September 6, after a white Ford Focus travelling south-west towards Meopham was involved in a collision with three cyclists.
The incident happened close to the junction with Round Street.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, two of the cyclists — a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s — were pronounced dead at the scene.
Their next of kin have been informed.
A third cyclist was taken to a local hospital with injuries described as minor.
