A TEENAGE boy has been killed in an horrific crash in Erith.

The 13-year-old, who has yet to be identified, was in a stolen car with two other teenage boys when the collision took place in Fraser Road, Erith, outside the Europa industrial estate.

Three youths were driving a stolen black Ford Orion at speed down Fraser Road when it collided with several other cars, at around 8.30pm on Wednesday, November 7.

One of the teenagers in the stolen car was taken from the scene to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. He was transferred to King's College Hospital but died the day after the incident.

Police have already talked to one 15-year-old boy from Erith at his home and are currently seeking the third youth. All three of the teenagers are white.

Sergeant Alan Adams of the Metropolitan Police collision investigation unit based at Catford said: "It is a nasty incident. We want to talk to anyone who was present at the time or may have known the boys involved. If residents saw or know anything they should ring us."
