British police have appealed for witnesses after an Irish couple, understood to be originally from Cork, were killed when they were struck by a car while walking their dog in a village in Kent yesterday.
The couple were walking along Thurnham Lane in Bearsted near Maidstone, when they were struck by a car shortly after 1.30pm.
The couple, who were in their 60s, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Their dog was also killed.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs said the department is aware of the incident and will provide consular assistance if required.
