Teenage racing driver dies

Former Worth School pupil Henry Surtees, 18, was driving in a Formula 2 event at Brands Hatch in Kent, when he was hit on the head by a wheel detached from a car ahead of him.

The youngster was knocked unconscious before his car crashed into the barrier.

The race was immediately red-flagged and Henry was pulled from the vehicle, before being given treatment at the venue's medical centre.

The promising driver was then flown by helicopter to The Royal London Hospital, East London, where he later died surrounded by his family.
