A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a car crash that killed three teenagers.

Jenna Barbour, 18, Josh Stewart, 16 and David Armstrong, 15, died when the car they were travelling in crashed into a wall in Tyninghame, East Lothian, at about 8.30pm on Monday.

Another 16-year-old boy survived the crash and was treated at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: " As a result of the ongoing investigation into the fatal road collision near to Tyninghame, East Lothian, Police Scotland detained and arrested a 16-year-old male in relation to alleged road traffic offences.

"A report outlining the findings of the investigation to date will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."

The two boys who died were pupils at Dunbar Grammar and Ms Barbour was a former pupil of the school.

Her parents Sandra and Drew and brother Gregor said they were completely devastated by her death.

In a statement released through police, they said: ''We were all immensely proud of Jenna and everything she achieved in her life. She was always a delight to be around and the family each have very fond memories of our holidays together."

David's mother Andrea said: ''David was a kind-hearted and good-mannered boy, who was always respectful of adults and his peers and was a loving brother to his sister."

Josh's parents Susan and Mark said: ''Josh was a much-loved son, nephew, grandson and cousin, and a loyal friend.

''He was a joy to anyone who knew him and the people that met Josh and his smile would never forget him."

A memorial is being planned at Dunbar Grammar with the school talking to the families about the best way to remember the three teenagers.
