A LAW graduate who plunged to her death from a bridge while fleeing her blazing car begged "please don't let me die" as rescuers battled to save her.

Azra Kemal, 24, was travelling from London when she fell from a bridge on the A21 onto the land below, her mum confirmed today.


Detectives said yesterday they believed the young woman fell while desperately looking for help after a car she was travelling in caught on fire.

Speaking of her daughter's horror death today, Azra's mum Nevres Kemal, 56, told the Daily Mail: "She was driving along the A21 with friends in the car.

"They got out of the car and moved away from the car. Then it exploded. They were trying to wave people down and also they crossed the central reservation.

She was still alive. The guy jumped down and could not see her.
She said 'Don't leave me here'.

"She climbed up and there was no concrete. This reservation was not there. It was pitch black so she has fallen 40 feet to the earth.

"She was still alive. The guy jumped down and could not see her.

"She said 'Don't leave me here'.

"Fortunately an off-duty nurse was passing and saw the car and she called the paramedics. The accident happened at 2.34am and she was pronounced dead at 3.20am. 

"Her last words were 'Please don't let me die'."
