Simon Evans, 18, from Perton, Wolverhampton, died at the scene, West Mercia Police said.
Two 17-year-old boys, Jacob Holeman, from Codsall, Staffordshire, and Jenson Bridges, from Brewood, Staffordshire, died from their injuries in hospital, a spokesperson added.

Officers investigating the crash have continued to appeal for information and dashcam footage.
"We are still appealing to anyone else who may have been on Offoxey Road on Friday night to get in contact," added Insp Steph Arrowsmith.
"We are also keen to hear from anyone who may have been travelling through Bishops Wood and Brewood around 23:00 GMT, as we believe the Audi travelled along Port Lane and Kiddemore Green Road ahead of the incident."
The force's spokesperson said they thought the Audi had been travelling with a red Vauxhall Corsa and a black Volkswagen Golf.
