Three teenagers die and one injured as car strikes a tree

After a car collided with a tree, three adolescents perished and another was critically injured.

Early this morning, a silver BMW was going along the A415 in the Oxfordshire village of Marcham when it veered off the road and hit a tree.

Around 12.10 a.m., emergency personnel arrived to help, but regrettably, two males, both aged 18, and a youngster, also aged 17, were declared dead at the spot.

The driver of the car, an 18-year-old man from Oxfordshire, remains in a critical condition in hospital. 

Police say the families of the victims have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Floral tributes have been left at the roadside today, near to where the smash happened.

The victims were all believed to be friends who were driving home when the car veered off the road.

Sergeant Matt Cadmore, of the joint roads policing unit at Three Mile Cross, said: ‘This is an extremely tragic incident which has resulted in the death of three young men.

‘Our thoughts remain with their families and friends at this extremely difficult time.’

Officers are also urging any witnesses to come forward following the fatal crash.

Sgt Cadmore added: ‘I would appeal to anyone who may have witnessed this incident or may have dash cam footage prior to the collision and who has not already spoken to police to contact us.’

Earlier this month, a young couple died in a car crash just five months before they were set to become parents for the first time.
