Two teenagers who were killed when the car they were in hit a tree have been named as George Wharton, 14, and 13-year-old Rhys Baker.
The boys are thought to have been picked up by a 21-year-old just before 1.50pm on Saturday without the permission of their parents.
The driver is seriously ill in hospital and two other teenagers, Kameron Walters, aged 14, and 15-year-old Joshua Van Veen, remain in a critical condition.
The accident happened on the A62 Gelderd Road in Morley, Leeds. Superintendent Sam Millar, of West Yorkshire Police, described it as "a terrible tragedy".
Both boys who died were from the local area and went to the Bruntcliffe Secondary School and Morley Academy, where staff and pupils are now being supported by police.
Dave Gurney, executive headteacher of Bruntcliffe School, said Rhys had been a "well-liked member of his year group", while Leanne Griffiths, principal of The Morley Academy, described George as "a popular boy with a bright future ahead of him".
Police say the blue Peugeot is believed to have overtaken another vehicle "at speed" before crashing.
Supt Millar said: "We are appealing for any witnesses to the specific incident but also the movements and behaviour of the car during the rest of the day.
"We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw the vehicle at the Tesco Express store.
"I would also like to praise a number of members of the public who stopped at the scene of the incident and helped in whatever way they could."
Friends gathered at the scene on Sunday to lay flowers and remember the victims.
