First picture of girl, 16, who died after car veered into freezing river
The first photo of one of the teenagers killed when a Ford Fiesta swerved off a road in Kent and landed in an ice-cold river has been released.
On January 3, a blue car carrying 16-year-old Chloe Naylor and 17-year-old Adam crashed into the body of water off Old Ferry Road near Sittingbourne, Kent.
Both Chloe and Adam died in the fatal crash, but the third passenger, a 16-year-old girl who hasn’t been named, is still in the hospital.
A GoFundMe has been set up for Chloe’s funeral by her mum’s best friend, who wrote: ‘Chloe was just 16 years old.
‘Donna would like to have a horse and carriage at Chloe’s funeral so Chloe can go as a princess.’
