Three teens, 17 & 18, killed in horror crash between car & bus before huge fire erupted near Heathrow Airport are named
THREE teenagers who were killed in a horror crash near Heathrow Airport have been named and pictured.
The H26 bus was heading towards Hatton Cross before smashing head on with a silver Mercedes on a railway bridge in Feltham, London, last week.
Fire crews from Feltham and Heston fire stations were sent to the scene just minutes from Europe‘s busiest airport.
But Harley Woods, 18, Star Tomkins, 17, and Jimmy Savory, 17, were tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Pictures of the trio have now been released as heartbroken friends and family paid tribute to the youngsters who lost their lives.
In a statement released by the force, Harley’s relatives said: “We as a family are completely devastated by the loss of Harley.
“We ask if we can be left in peace to grieve and find a way through this.”
Previously, Star’s loved ones added on a GoFundMe page that has raised over £10,000 for funeral costs she will be “deeply missed by many”.
And Jimmy’s mother Lisa Allen described him as “our darling boy” in a Facebook post.
She added that “all who knew and loved him will be welcome” at his funeral later this month.
A police investigation continues and an inquest opened and adjourned at West London Coroner’s Court on Tuesday, April 8.
Cops and emergency services rushed to the scene on Bedfont Road just before midnight on April 1 and found two vehicles ablaze.
Six passengers were also treated for injuries at the scene and two were hospitalised at the time.
London Fire Brigade Assistant Commissioner Paul McCourt previously said: “The thoughts of everyone within the Brigade are with the families impacted by this tragic incident.
“I’d like to thank our crews and emergency service colleagues for the determination and dedication they showed when responding to this difficult situation.
“The Brigade will speak with our firefighters that attended and offer support through our counselling and trauma services where required.”
