The smash was so bad the car make was said to be unrecognisable.
Police have named the four young victims who lost their lives in a devastating car crash in the early hours of Saturday morning.The group – all students at the University of Essex – were killed when their car, a black Ford Focus, smashed into a second-hand shop on Magdalen Street in Essex just before 4.40am.
Maria Fasli, Vice Chancellor of the University of Essex, described the deaths as a “devastating loss” for the university community.“They all played an active role in our community through clubs and societies and were well-known around the University. Anthony and Daljang were outstanding members of our Essex Rebels men’s basketball team, Makyle was a talented player in our BUCS basketball team, and Eva was heavily involved in the Essex Blades Dance Club.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper said: “This will be an incredibly difficult time for the families and friends of Makyle, Eva, Anthony, and Daljang, and our thoughts are with them.
