A man has appeared in court charged in connection with a car crash that killed three teenagers.



Jaynesh Chudasama, of Hayes, west London, is accused of three counts of causing death by dangerous driving.

The 28-year-old, who is alleged to have been the driver of an Audi that hit the three friends on Shepiston Lane, in Hayes, appeared at Uxbridge magistrates court on Monday.

The teenagers who died have been named as Harry Rice, 17, George Wilkinson and Josh McGuinness, both 16.

Despite the efforts of paramedics, all three boys were pronounced dead at the scene.

The victims were among a group of friends walking towards a nearby football club at about 8.40pm on Friday when they were hit.

A 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after handing himself in at a north London police station on Sunday evening.

The collision occurred close to the Esso garage near junction four of the M4.

Chudasama, who spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, address and identity as British, was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on 26 February.
