The heartbroken mother of a law graduate, who fell to her death from a road bridge while escaping her burning car, said her daughter pleaded with rescuers: "Please don't let me die".
Her mother, Nevres Kemal, 56, said that she had fallen 40ft to her death in the pitch dark after climbing over the barriers, thinking that there was a central reservation between the carriageways.
The social worker told the Daily Mail that her home in Whetstone, north London, felt empty without her only child, who was a graduate of the London School of Economics.
"She was really and truly the air that I breathe. That is all I live for, for her. I am in total shock. I do not know what to say," she said.
Ms Kemal told the publication that two police officers came to the door on Thursday morning to tell her about what happened.
She said her daughter had been driving on the A21 with friends in the car when they decided to swap drivers but there was a fault with the car and it started smoking.
Ms Kemal said the group had got out and moved away from the car when it exploded.
She added that they then began to try and wave people down and to cross the central reservation.
"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," Ms Kemal said.
"She was still alive. The guy jumped down and could not see her. She said 'Don't leave me here'".
Ms Kemal said an off-duty nurse was passing and saw the car so she called the paramedics, but her daughter was pronounced dead at 3.20am.
"Her last words were 'Please don't let me die,'" Ms Kemal said.
A 31-year-old man, also from London, was arrested but has since been released without charge.
Kent Police has appealed for witnesses and said it was preparing a file for the coroner.
A spokesman said: "Detectives investigating the circumstances around the death of a woman who fell from a bridge on the A21 are satisfied there are no suspicious circumstances and are now preparing a report for the coroner.
"The woman, who was 24 and from London, is understood to have fallen while seeking assistance after a car she was travelling in caught alight," they added.
A 31-year-old man, from London, who was arrested in connection with the incident has since been released without charge.
Anyone who has information that may assist should call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting 16-0120.
