DETECTIVES investigat­ing a horror smash that killed three teenagers last night made a second arrest.

George Wilkinson, 16, Josh McGunniess, 16, and Harry Rice, 17, all died when they were hit by an Audi on Friday night.

The football-mad pals had been on their way to a party at a five-a-side club.

Police released a CCTV image of a man who was in the motor when it mounted a kerb and hit them.

Officers had previously arrested a 28-yearold man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving in Hayes, west London.

Custody

Last night police said: “A man sought by police in connection with a fail-to-stop road traffic collision in Hayes that resulted in the death of three young men has handed himself in at a police station.

“The 34-year-old man voluntaril­y attended a north London police station shortly after 7pm on Sunday, January 28.

“He has now been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and taken into custody for questionin­g.”

Officers said the car was “travelling at high speed” when it ploughed into the lads.

Witnesses say they saw a man running away afterwards.

The teens had all known each other since they were young and were “like brothers”, according to friends.

George’s grandfathe­r Nigel Goodhand said: “He will be so missed. His mum is destroyed. It’s a nightmare.”
