The driver of the vehicle, an 18-year-old man, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The Oxford Mail has contacted Thames Valley Police for an update on the driver but a response is yet to be provided.
The victims were believed to be friends driving home when the car left the road.
Yesterday, during the day, tributes were being left at the scene before the road was closed by police in the evening.
Last night, an officer at the scene confirmed that the road has been closed for further inquiries into the crash.
The officer told an Oxford Mail reporter it would give them more room to work but he could not comment on why it has been closed now rather than earlier in the day.
The Oxford Mail has also approached Thames Valley Police for an update on the incident and the road closure.
Thames Valley Police has appealed to anyone who witnessed this incident or may have dash cam footage prior to the collision to get in touch.
The families of the teenagers have been notified and are being supported by specially trained officers.
Sergeant Matt Cadmore of the Joint Roads Policing Unit at Three Mile Cross said: “This is an extremely tragic incident which has resulted in the death of three young men.
“Our thoughts remain with their families and friends at this extremely difficult time.”
Anyone with information is urged to call 101 or make a report online to Thames Valley Police quoting the incident number 43230270542.
