Review of the year: September to December

The last moments of two young men's lives were tragically captured on video as they sped to their deaths this year.

Driver Kyle Careford, 20, and his friend Michael Owen, 21, were travelling in a red Renault Clio when it crashed into a church wall in April.

The men, both from Tunbridge Wells, but staying in Crowborough at the time, died instantly.

In October their families supported the release of the harrowing video, which was shown at an inquest into their deaths.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, a Yodel driver was sacked after being filmed 'drifting' near a busy shopping centre.

The shocking footage showed the van driving at least twice around a roundabout leaving skid marks on the road as it screeched around.

At one point the male driver is seen getting out of the vehicle and checking its tyres.

In November, a massive spider - thought to be the largest species in Britain - was found in a bedroom in Kent.

Dean Rogers, from Chatham, was doing his washing when he got a nasty, eight-legged surprise.
