Man died after being hit by car
A young man who was killed after being struck by a car in Hoo during the early hours of Sunday, had been returning from a night out in Rochester, his heartbroken mother has revealed.
Aron Baker had got separated from his friends after enjoying a night out in the town on Saturday and began to make his way home.
He had almost reached his destination when he was hit by a car.
The 24-year-old was struck by a silver Vauxhall Vectra in Hoo at about 3.05am.
He was taken to a London hospital with serious injuries, but died on Sunday afternoon.
Officers from the serious collision investigation unit are investigating and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision.
They are also keen to speak with anyone who may have seen Mr Baker in the moments leading up to the incident.

Defendant Jorven Seren, who believes she is a five-year-old girl, was born a man but asked to be addressed as a woman.
Judge Adele Williams banned Seren from keeping the doll in the dock after telling barrister Paul Hogben: “That is totally inappropriate and I make it plain she will not be doing that for the rest of the hearing!”
Seren spent the rest of the case sucking her thumb.
The court heard she was arrested after being seen kissing a child outside a cafe in Thanet.
The victim’s distressed mother spoke to members of a local church who had contacted police about Seren’s odd behaviour.
When police went to Seren’s home in Margate they discovered more than 460 images of child sex had been downloaded.
Canterbury Crown Court heard the 55-year-old claimed a known paedophile, who has since died, persuaded her to download the images.
Judge Williams heard that although psychiatrists concluded she has personality problems, she did not have any mental illness and jailed her for a total of 15 months.
