TRIBUTES have been paid to four friends who died when their car crashed into a tree at Neston.
The blue Vauxhall Tigra Coupe collided with the tree as they were travelling along the A540 Chester High Road, Neston, in the early hours of Sunday.
The car was severely crushed upon impact which has delayed formal identification of the bodies.
Cheshire Constabulary spokeswoman Jo Preihs said they believe the driver was 19-year-old John David Aston, an employee of the Brewers Arms in Neston and the front passenger to be former Neston High School student Michaela Louise Favager, 19, who worked in Iceland in Neston.
The rear passengers were Gillian Fowle, 43, who also worked in the Brewers Arms, and Edward Thomas (Eddie) Smith, 19, a builder.
All were from Neston.
A tribute group in memory of the four friends has been set up on social networking site Facebook.
One message read: “Such a tragic loss of four lives. May you all rest in peace.”
Another read: “So tragic, my thoughts go out to all the families. Rest in peace to the four of you."
Another: “So sad, so tragic...RIP.”Miss Preihs said details of the four friends would be released shortly.
“Police are still investigating the cause of the collision and witnesses are still being sought,” she said.A roadside tribute has been set up by friend and family, naming the victims as “Eddie”, “John”, “Jill” and “Michaela”.
Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward and anyone with information should contact Cheshire Constabulary on 0845 458 0000.
