The family of a man who died following a collision with a car in Herne Bay have paid tribute to him.
20-year-old Jay Clive Wyles-Boorman from Canterbury was killed died after his orange Honda motorbike was involved in a collision with a blue Mercedes on the High Street on 9 January.
Evelyn Wyles-Boorman, Jay's sister, said: "It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the death of my twin brother, Jay Clive Wyles-Boorman.
"Jay was my brother but before anything else, my best friend - the person I grew up with, shared my life with, and knew me in a way no one else ever could.
"Oh my angel, my sweet boy. Forever 20. I don’t know how to do life without you, and I never will. Losing a twin is losing part of yourself, and I have never felt so empty. I don’t have the words for the space you’ve left behind.
"Our family is devastated. We have lost a son, a brother, and a grandson and nothing will ever feel the same without him. Jay was deeply loved, and I will never let anyone forget who he was or what he meant to us.
"This doesn’t come close to capturing my pain, but I wanted to say something. My twin. My brother. The other half of me. My entire being in another body.
"We will need and miss you for the rest of our lives, no matter how long or short they are. Sleep tight, our beautiful boy. We love you."
An investigation is ongoing and officers from Kent Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit are urging anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
