Four men have died after a car crashed into a tree in Ullenwood, near Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Police found the black Renault Clio on the A436 while on patrol shortly before 2am on Sunday.
The vehicle had left the road and collided with a tree.
Gloucestershire police said urgent work is being undertaken to identify those involved, who are all aged 18 plus, and notify their next of kin.
This is very sad. The A436 is an extremely busy road which has had accidents and some fatalities over the last few years. The Ullenwood Manor Road junction in particular has low visibility. Residents & I have repeatedly called for Glos Highways to radically improve safety there. https://t.co/DacyksSKKS

The road between the A417 Air Balloon roundabout and Severn Springs has now reopened.
Anyone with information about the collision or with dashcam footage is asked to contact the police.
Gloucestershire County councillor Paul Hodgkinson said the road is busy and there have been accidents and fatalities previously.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, he said: “This is very sad.
