The car left the A1139 Frank Perkins Parkway in Peterborough, ending up in the Eye roundabout at about 23:00 BST on Monday.

Tahar Dahmri, 50; Hussain Ali Mansour, 25; and Abdul Ounaha, 30, who were all in a BMW 3 Series, died at the scene.

The road was closed for several hours but reopened at about 09:00 BST on Tuesday. Police have appealed for dash-cam footage.

Mr Dahmri was an Algerian national, Mr Mansour was a Lebanese national and Mr Ounaha was a Moroccan national, Cambridgeshire Police said.

They all lived in the Peterborough area.
