QPR's teenage striker Ray Jones has died in a car accident.

The club has postponed Saturday's match away to Burnley after the young forward was killed.

A statement said: "QPR is in mourning following the tragic news that striker Ray Jones died in a motor accident in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The 18-year-old England youth international was involved in an accident in East Ham and was pronounced dead at the scene.

RIP, thats the second young player to die this week after the Walsall youth player.

Just sent my dad a text about this, as he's a QPR fan. Shame to see anyone die that young, and QPR had that 16 year old kid killed in London earlier this year

Suprised this hasn't been 'bigger' news really, he had huge potential and was wanted by some big clubs. Shocked me when I heard. Any ideas how it happened?

RIP.
