Love Island star Kem Cetinay was involved in a car crash yesterday in which one other person was killed.

As Metro reports, the collision took place in Romford, Essex. Kem’s Mercedes collided with a motorcycle, and the motorcyclist passed away from their injuries at the scene.

In a statement, a representative for Kem said: “Kem was this morning involved in a road traffic accident close to his home in the Brentwood area at approximately 11.30am.

“Tragically, a motorcyclist died in the collision. Kem has been assisting the police and is being treated purely as a witness to the incident.”

A representative also told the Mail Online: “Kem will be making no further comment on this matter aside to offer his deepest condolences, prayers and sympathies to the motorcyclist’s family and friends.”

The Metropolitan Police also issued a statement to Metro which read: “‘Police were called at 11:32hrs on Thursday, 4 August to reports of a collision at Shepherds Hill, Romford.

“Police and London Ambulance Service attended. At the scene a car had been in collision with a motorcycle.

“Despite the efforts of medics, the male motorcyclist was sadly pronounced dead at the scene at 12:04. Enquiries are underway to notify next of kin.
