Three men killed in Staples Corner retail park car crash named by police

Three people who died in a car crash near the Staples Corner retail park in north-west London have been named by police.

Mohamad Zeidani, 21, Mohammed Ghazzi, 21, and Sohail Zulfiqar, 20, all died when their Mercedes CLK convertible crashed through a car park fence and down an embankment, hitting a footbridge, the Metropolitan Police said.

The Serious Collision Investigation Unit continues to carry out investigations into what caused it.

Two other passengers involved in the crash are in a non-life threatening condition, police added.

Detective Sergeant Paul Jackson, leading the investigation said: “Our thoughts remain with the families of Mohamad, Mohammed and Sohail as they come to terms with the loss of their loved ones.

“We will continue to support them in whatever way we can.

“The two other passengers are stable and in a non-life threatening condition. They are also being supported by officers and I hope they make a full recovery soon.

“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.

“These were three lives, taken far too young, and our enquiries into the full circumstances of what happened continue. 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.

Witnesses can call police on 101 giving the reference 7502/14april.
