Two charged after elderly man killed in Gillingham crash

A lawsuit has been filed against two people regarding the death of a man in his 80s after being hit by a car.

Kent Police said the man was struck by a gray Mercedes estate on the A289 Gads Hill in Gillingham on Monday.

Police added that the pedestrian was “carried away by the car” and was found on the ground in Grange Road, potentially almost a mile or more from where he was struck.

Albert Matraxhiu, 28, of Orange Hill Road, Edgware, was charged with death by dangerous driving, while Erald Paci, 29, of Five Way Court, Chatham, was charged with perverting the course of justice.
