A man killed in a car crash has been named as music reviewer Robert Maycock.

The 63-year-old was driving a Citreon Xsara in High Halden, near Ashford, when he left the road and hit a tree.

The founding editor of Classic Music Magazine and former music editor of The Independent, Mr Maycock was also the chairman of serveral Arts Council bodies.

No other vehicle was involved in the crash, at about 10.40am last Wednesday.

Anyone who witnessed the car being driven before the collision is urged to phone PC David Jeeves at Kent Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01622 798538.
