Two teenage boys killed after car smashes into tree in horror crash
Police were called in the early hours of Sunday morning to reports that a car had collided with a tree. Two teenage boys have died after a car smashed into a tree in a horror crash. Just before 3am on Sunday morning, emergency crews raced to the scene in Corhampton, Hampshire after receiving reports of a grey Hyundai i20 crashing into a tree. Two teens, a 16 and 17-year-old boy, were pronounced dead at the scene, reports the Mirror. In a statement, Hampshire Police said: "Sadly, despite best efforts of emergency services, a 16 year-old boy and a 17 year-old boy died at the scene. "Their families have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. "As part of our investigation we would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone who has relevant dash cam footage capturing the incident or the moments leading up to it. "If you have any information, please contact us online or via 101 quoting reference 44250311184." Last week, in a separate incident, we reported that Jake Larmour, 18, was seriously injured in the collision involving a Seat Leon and a bus on the A82 in Glencoe at 11.15am on Thursday, July 3. Emergency services raced to the scene and Jake, a passenger in the car, and the driver, were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow for treatment. Sadly, the teenager passed away five days later. The driver's current condition is unknown. Following the tragedy, nearly £5,000 has been raised in memory of Jake, who passed away just hours after scaling Ben Nevis, which had been a lifelong dream of his. In a statement released through Police Scotland, his family said: 'Our beautiful baby boy Jake was taken from us after what was supposed to be one of the best days of his life. He'd been and climbed Ben Nevis which was a dream of his and was on his way home to tell us all about it. 'Words can't describe how we are feeling, we were only celebrating his 18th birthday just over a week ago and now we are arranging his funeral. Please let us grieve as a family. Fly high our darling Jakey.' Paying tribute to Jake, friends remembered the teenager as "the sweetest boy with the biggest heart". One friend wrote online: "You will be loved forever and always jake. Such a great friend to everybody. Fly high." Another added: "Most sweetest boy with the biggest heart and even bigger goals. Taken too soon." Another friend commented: "Jake was so lovely. My heart breaks for you all." The road was closed for eight hours to allow an investigation to take place. Police say inquiries into the fatal crash are, however, ongoing. Sergeant Ewan Calder said: 'Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Jake at this very difficult time. Our inquiries into this crash are still ongoing and I would urge anyone who was travelling on the A82 around 11.15am on 3 July and saw what happened to contact us. 'Likewise, if you saw either vehicle prior to the collision and have information which may assist our investigation, please get in touch. I'd also ask drivers with dash-cam footage to review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.' Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference number 1206 of July 3. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
