More tributes have poured in at the scene where three teenagers were killed in a horror crash in the early hours of Tuesday morning (June 20).
Elliot Pullen, 17, and Daniel Hancock, 18, both from Southmoor and another 18-year-old, named locally as Ethan, died on the A415 in Marcham when the BMW they were passengers in collided with a tree.
The driver of the vehicle, named locally as Tom, was taken to hospital where he remains in a life-threatening condition.

The road was closed by police on Tuesday night and remained shut for most of yesterday.
Officers confirmed to the Oxford Mail that this was to allow further investigations to take place.
But they were not able to comment on why the road was closed at this time and not earlier on Tuesday.
Since the road re-opened last night, groups of people have travelled to the scene of the crash to pay their respects to the victims.
Flowers, photos and messages have been left at the side of the road.
A friend of Elliot’s girlfriend, from Wantage, said: “Elliot was so so lovely.
“Everyone was supporting the girls and their families last night.
“It’s horrible to think that someone our age is gone.”
Last night, the families of two of the victims paid tribute to their loved ones killed in the crash.
The family of Daniel Hancock said their “worst fears were realised so tragically in the early hours of Tuesday morning.”
They added that they were “heartbroken” and send their love and condolences to the other families affected.
The family of Elliot Pullen paid tribute to their "bright and talented" son.
They said: "He had many passions including football, especially Liverpool FC, learning to drive with his Dad, riding motorbikes, eating out, attending live events and spending time with his friends, who were so important to him.
"Elliot was adored by his younger cousins who loved nothing more than to demand his attention, despite his intention of remaining a super cool teenager.
“He had a gorgeous smile, a cheeky glint in his eye, he was always well dressed, and it appeared, had a different hairstyle every few weeks.
"He was nearing the end of his IT apprenticeship qualification and had been working with a wonderful local company for nearly two years, who welcomed him into their family, and described him as ‘a bright, talented and well-liked team member, with an amazing career ahead of him."
