Three people have been killed in a crash between a car and a lorry on a road in Bedfordshire.
Two teenagers and a woman who were killed in a crash between a car and a lorry in Bedfordshire have been named.
They were pronounced dead at the scene and two men were taken to hospital, police said.
Lewis Cook and Marie-Ann Wykes, both 16 and from Marston, were involved in the collision on the old A421 Bedford Road, near Brogborough, just after midnight.
The crash happened on the Bedford Road, the former A421 leading to the M1 motorway, near Brogborough just after midnight.
Genevieve Reason, 32, from Woburn Sands, who was also in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene along with the teenagers.
The road remains closed between Brogborough and Marston Moretaine as investigations into the crash continue.
Two other men were taken to hospital and have been discharged.
One of the two casualties taken to hospital was later discharged and the other has serious but not life threatening injuries, police said.

The crash wreckage remains on the road, where the lorry is visibly smoking.
An array of emergency vehicles surround it and there looks to be a tent over the car.
Police said the bodies would be removed after a full forensic examination had been completed.
Officers are directing vehicles around diversion routes, including the new A421 dual carriageway, following the crash at the junction of the Bedford Road and Sheeptick End.
