Pictured: Teenage friends killed in horror bus and car crash near Heathrow Airport

Three teenagers killed after a collision between a bus and a car near Heathrow have been named by the Metropolitan Police.

Star Tomkins and Jimmy Savory, both 17 and 18-year-old Harley Woods were pronounced dead at the scene in Bedfont Road, Feltham.

Officers found both vehicles on fire in west London at around 11.55pm on Monday, March 31. A fourth male teenager was taken to hospital.

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”.

Jimmy’s mother Lisa Allen described him as “our darling boy” in a Facebook post.

She added “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.

Two passengers in the bus, an H26 service bound for Hatton Cross, were also taken to hospital but their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, the force said.

Other passengers were treated for injuries by paramedics at the scene.

LFB Assistant Commissioner Paul McCourt said at the time: “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.”
