Police are appealing for witnesses to the fatal collision in East Ham at 00:20 this morning which killed three young men.

Jones, who was due to celebrate his 19th birthday on Tuesday, was travelling in a black Volkswagen Golf which collided with a double decker bus on East Ham High Street.

Two teenagers, including Jones, were pronounced dead at the scene and a third died of his injuries in hospital later.

Ray Jones was due to celebrate his 19th birthday on Tuesday

Two other teenagers were taken to hospital where one is in a critical condition and the other is described as walking wounded.

It is not known if anyone on the bus was injured. Post-mortem examinations will be arranged later.

The young striker was a product of the west London club's youth scheme and became a regular member of the Rangers squad last season.

Jones, who last season earned a call-up to the England under-19s squad, was set to miss today's match with a foot injury.

He made his professional debut against Watford in April 2006 and made 35 appearances in all competitions last season - scoring six goals.

Last year QPR mourned the death of another of their young stars when youth team player Kiyan Prince was stabbed to death on May 18.

An investigation into the collision is being led by officers from the Collision Investigation Unit at Chadwell Heath traffic garage on 020 8345 4905.
