Per BBC News, the victims tragically succumbed to their injuries despite the efforts of police and ambulance crews.
Earlier today, it was revealed that all three of the women were relatives of John Hunt, a 58-year-old former police officer who has worked for BBC Radio Five Live for the last 20 years, per The Telegraph.
