The drivers, aged 48 and 44, were pronounced dead at the scene last night, according to local police. The teenage boy was believed to be travelling with the 44-year-old.

Hampshire Constabulary is now appealing for witnesses or anyone who may be able to offer information about the crash.

In a statement released this afternoon (Tuesday), the force said the incident had occurred on Portsdown Hill just before 7.10pm on Monday.

Officers had been called to James Callaghan Drive, which runs off Portsdown Hill to the west, following reports of a collision involing a black Peugeot 207 and a grey Renault Megane.

The driver of the Renault – the 48-year-old – came from Gosport, Hampshire police said; the Peugeot driver, 44, came from Fareham. 

Police said that “despite the best efforts of emergency services”, both died at the scene.

The boy was taken from the Renault to Southampton General Hospital along the coast with severe injuries.

Hampshire Constabularly added: “Their next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.”

Police have yet to determine the nature of the crash, and so are appealing for evidence that might help them with their investigations.

Sergeant Spencer Wragg, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “We are currently carrying out our investigation to establish the exact circumstances of this incident.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident. Did you see either vehicle being driven in the area prior to the collision?

“Were you driving through the area, and do you have any dash-cam footage?

“If you have any information please contact us as soon as possible.”
