Four teenagers who died when their car hit a tree in the early hours of the morning have been named.

James Bowyer, aged 18, from Marsh Gibbon, Oxfordshire; Lee Grimshaw, aged 18, from Brackley, Northamptonshire; Edward Manders-Naden, aged 18, from Calvert Green, Buckingshamshire; Kirk Nokes, aged 18, from Buckingham all died.

A 17-year-old man remains in a critical condition at JR2 Hospital, Oxford.

The young men were in a blue Ford Fiesta which collided with a tree on the A422 Brackley Road near Westbury on the Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire border shortly before 1am.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said that officers are asking any witnesses to come forward.

The families of Mr Bowyer and Mr Grimshaw both said they were too upset to speak to the media.
