Two young men died in a multi-vehicle crash involving three Seat Leons on Epsom Road in East Clandon, Surrey, shortly after 11 PM last night. The driver, in his late teens, and a passenger in his early twenties, were pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency services responded to the incident, which involved a collision near Clandon Wood Nature Reserve. In the aftermath, three individuals—a 22-year-old man from Woking, a 21-year-old woman, and a 19-year-old man from Guildford—were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The road remains closed as Surrey Police conduct their investigation and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the area during that time.
