Teen crash victims named

The Polo crashed on a right-hand bend

Two schoolboys killed in a car crash have been identified by police.

Bernard Hansi and Michael Leeman, both 18, were passengers in a red Volkswagen Polo when it went out of control on a bend and careered off the road in Lincolnshire.

Mr Hansi, from Austria, and Mr Leeman, from Binbrook, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, both students at nearby De Aston School, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

The driver, a fellow pupil, was taken by air ambulance to Lincoln County Hospital where he is in a "satisfactory condition", a police spokesman said.

Memorial assembly

The three schoolboys were travelling along the A46 outside Swineshead Farm, near Dunholme, just before 1400 BST on Wednesday when the accident happened.

They were driving in the direction of the 1,260-pupil comprehensive school when police said the driver lost control on a right-hand bend.

A spokeswoman for De Aston School, which includes 75 boarding pupils from across the world, said they would be holding a special memorial assembly for the boys later.

Lincolnshire Police is appealing for witnesses to the accident and is particularly keen to hear from the driver of a vehicle thought to have been travelling immediately behind the Polo at the time of the crash.
