Three young university friends who died in a fatal crash in Brent Cross have been named.
Police were called to Staples Corner Retail Park at around 11.26pm on Sunday (April 14).
London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade also attended the scene.
Five men were found at the site of the crash, three of whom were pronounced dead. Two others were rushed to the hospital.
Mohamad Zeidani, 21, Mohammed Ghazzi, 21, and Sohail Zulfiqar, 20, have been named as the victims who lost their lives.
They were believed to be university friends who were returning from a 24-hour gym at Staples Corner when the incident took place, the Evening Standard reported.
The other two victims involved in the crash have suffered non-life threatening injuries, the force added.
All their families are being supported by specially trained officers.
He clarified that contrary to the comments on social media speculating on the victims’ manner of driving, evidence suggests that the car involved was not racing or performing stunts.
He added: “Whilst we have a number of active lines of enquiry and are keeping an open mind, evidence gathered so far suggests that the vehicle involved was not racing or performing high speed laps or stunts as has been reported.
“Their families deserve answers and so, again, we would ask anyone who witnessed anything or has any relevant mobile phone or dashcam footage to come forward.
“Anyone with any information can call police on 101, quoting reference 7502/14april.”
