"Police can confirm three of the boys in the car were 17, 15 and 16 years old," the
West Midlands Police said in a statement. "The age of the fourth boy is yet to be confirmed. All four occupants of the car died at the scene. A police car in the area at the time was flagged down by a member of the public, who heard the collision take place. Officers responded to the incident immediately."
The car itself is not believed to have been stolen. "Crews arrived to find a car which had been in a significant collision with a wall," a spokesperson for the West Midlands Ambulance Service said. "The four occupants of the car all suffered serious multiple injuries in the crash. Unfortunately nothing could be done to save the men and they were all confirmed dead at the scene."
