Thousands of pounds have been raised for the families of the teenagers involved in a fatal crash on the A415 in Marcham.
A GoFundMe page has collected over £4,000 following the tragic crash on Tuesday morning (June 20) which left three dead and one fighting for his life in hospital.
Ethan Goddard, 18, died along with Elliot Pullen, 17, and Daniel Hancock, 18, when the BMW they were passengers in collided with a tree in the early hours of the morning.

The driver, named locally as Tom, remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The GoFundMe page, which has so far raised £4,200, was set up by Lisa Izer, who is friends with the parents and siblings of Daniel, who was from Southmoor.
She said: “I decided to set up a GoFundMe page as the outpouring of love, support and messages over social media and personally to all the families involved from thousands of people whom this has also affected seems a fitting tribute to the boys, and also to raise money for the families left with this devastation and heartbreak, a parent’s worst nightmare that my friends are now having to live.”
The ‘cash gift’ will be split between the four families who can choose how they spend the money.
Ms Izer said: “It goes without saying that no amount of money will ever ease the pain or bring the boys back but I hope it can alleviate one less thing for the parents to have to think about (finances) at this extremely difficult time.

“We live within such an amazing community with so many saying how they feel ‘helpless’ and would like to ‘do something’, well this page seemed the most respectful way, whilst allowing the families time to grieve in private.
“Therefore, if you feel you are able to donate (nothing is too small) then please do so, however if you aren’t able to, I ask for your help by sharing this page.
“Let’s show the families personally involved in this tragedy that we are standing together as a community and sending them love and strength, that we will carry them while they are unable to walk themselves. They are not alone.”
Many who donated left comments on the website and expressed their sorrow and condolences to the families of the victims.
“Totally heartbroken for you all”, said one donor, while another added, “Can’t believe it. Rest in peace boys. You will be massively missed.”
The families of the three teenagers who died have released statements since the crash.
Friends and teenagers have also left tributes by a tree near the scene, including flowers, football shirts, and photos of the teenagers.
