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 Metropolitan Police 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”.
