Teenager dies in Seer Green collision
A 17-YEAR-old boy has died following a collision in Seer Green last night.
At about 9.15pm a grey Citroen C4, containing four teenage boys and a teenage girl, was travelling along Longbottom Lane, Seer Green towards the A355, when it lost control and collided with a tree.
A 17-year-old male passenger died and three other boys are still in hospital in a serious condition.
Firefighters from Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross were among the emergency services at the scene.
Investigations remain ongoing into the cause of the collision. No-one has been arrested.

Let's all show respect and dignity, express condolences for those who mourn, wish the injured a full and swift recovery, spare a thought for those who had to deal with this horrific accident and leave the police to do all the investigations which will no doubt ensue.
How dreadfully sad for all concerned. I wonder how experienced the driver of this vehicle was. And 5 youngsters in a car, surely this is never a good idea.
I know people are going to comment on my post, but this is just my opinion.

A young person has lost their life in circumstances that we are not aware of yet.
RIP to the young soul and best wishes to those that are injured - they are going to have this in their thoughts forever.

The boy who tragically lost his life happened to be a very close friend of mine during my secondary school years. Can we please refrain from arguing?
Condolences to all family and friends.

JDMmini wrote:look it was a reasonable post. It is tragic when any person dies but statistically young people are involved in more accidents and often it is inexperience or lack of fear that is the cause of the accident - I should know because when I was a teenager that was me - luckily in my accident no one was hurt. Just look at the cost to insure a young person! More training is needed so we protect our young drivers.
"this is just my opinion", but hey I'll be a sanctimonious whinge when a kid is dead. Primarily, experience is mostly irrelevant. People have accidents whether they have stupendous amounts of experience or not. 5 youths in a car is no worse than 5 adults holding a conversation, the momentary loss of focus is still there. I'm not denying that youths in a car are frequently idiots, but do you have to flaunt your self-righteous "ooh youths, it's because they're young" attitude now? Grow up. Some kid just died. No one cares about your opinion.

Many members of our community are grief stricken at the moment. Any discussion of the issues this incident raises is just hurtful to them. All they want to hear is either nothing or something from those very close.
We strangers should say nothing just express any sincere condolences and love to them.
Personally I cannot imagine their agony and my heartful sympathies go out to them.
My son was friends with all of them and was due to going to be out with them that evening.His bewilderment is only surpassed by my own sense of relief.My love to all affected but especially parents of the lad who passed away.
