TWO teenagers who tragically died in a car crash on the Marlow Bypass on Tuesday have today been named.

Alex Kurzyniec, 18, and 17-year-old Thomas Blunden died after their silver Ford Fiesta left the southbound carriageway of the A404 and plunged down an embankment following a collision with a blue Mercedes 500.

The teenagers, both from Reading, were pronounced dead at the scene on Tuesday night.

A post mortem is expected to be held tomorrow.

The Mercedes driver, a 60-year-old man from Henley, was uninjured in the collision. He was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving.
