A 21-year-old man who died after being hit by a fire engine while riding an e-scooter has been named as Tommy Jarvis. The incident occurred on May 25 in Dartford, Kent, as Jarvis was returning home from his job at Miller & Carter.
Jarvis was rushed to hospital following the collision on Princes Road but died two days later surrounded by family in a London hospital. The fire engine was responding to an emergency at the time, according to Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
A tribute from a friend described Jarvis as 'kind, caring, loyal, and loved by so many', adding that he was 'the biggest smile in every room'. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover funeral costs, with over £2,000 raised so far towards a £5,500 target.
Kent Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage. The force stated that the collision occurred at the junction with Darenth Road at around 10.44pm. Anyone with information is asked to call 01622 798538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk.
