Harley Woods: Family of 18-year-old among three teenagers killed in crash say they are 'completely devastated' by his death
The family of one of three teenagers killed when a car and a bus collided in west London have said they are "completely devastated" by his death.
Star Tomkins and Jimmy Savory, who were both 17, and 18-year-old Harley Woods, died when the car they were in hit a bus in Feltham just before midnight on 31 March.
The crash, involving an H26 service heading to Hatton Cross, happened on a narrow railway bridge on Bedfont Road - and both vehicles caught fire.
The three, who were declared dead at the scene, were named by the force on Thursday.
Harley Woods' family said in a statement they were "completely devastated" by his death and asked to be "left in peace to grieve and find a way through this".
In a tribute on a GoFundMe page that has raised more than £10,000 towards funeral costs, Star Tomkins' loved ones called her a "beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and best friend".
She was someone who had "a heart of gold" and who would "be deeply missed by many".
In a post on the fundraising page, one contributor described her as an "amazing friend".
A fourth passenger who was in the car was taken to hospital, along with two bus passengers whose injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, police said.
Other passengers were treated for injuries by paramedics at the scene.

Fun-loving Nottingham dad dies just days before his wedding after e-scooter crash
A Nottingham man has died after colliding with a car door while riding an e-scooter, just days before he was due to get married. Scott Catton, 54, was involved in the crash in Ridgeway, Top Valley, on the evening of Thursday, June 5. The dad-of-one, who suffered a catastrophic head injury, died in hospital on Saturday afternoon, having been due to tie the knot with his long-term partner on Monday. Nottinghamshire Police confirmed it is investigating his death. Mr Catton, who had a 13-year-old son, was described as a "great, fun-loving" dad by his family. 'We've gone from a wedding to planning a funeral. His partner is a mess," said his brother-in-law, Phil Bates.

I wasn't expecting a £1,000 fine for fly-tipping' 'He was great, a fun-loving, bubbly character. He was really into his sports - football, cricket, boxing. Everybody loved him. No one had a bad word to say about him. I was really close to him." Mr Catton was riding his e-scooter back to his home in Top Valley when someone opened their car door, his family said. "He just hit it," said Mr Bates. Emergency services were called to the scene and he was taken to the intensive care unit at the Queen's Medical Centre. Mr Catton's life support was turned off two days later. 'We found out straight away and went straight to the hospital, where we spent most of the weekend," said Mr Bates. Nottinghamshire Police said its officers were investigating the incident but were unable to share any more information at this stage. A fundraiser has been set up by the family of Mr Catton, which has so far raised more than £5,000. "We had to say goodbye to a much-loved friend, partner, father, uncle and brother," reads the GoFundMe. "I am trying to raise funds to give him the send off that he deserves. Any remaining funds will be put into trust for his 13-year-old son he leaves behind."
