QPR striker Ray Jones, who has died in a car crash
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.
The club said the collision occurred at about 0020 BST on Saturday in the High Street at South East Ham.
The statement added: "Everyone at Queens Park Rangers extends their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ray at this sad time.
"The club will be making no further comment at this stage and we ask you respect our wishes as we grieve for our young striker."
Jones, who last season earned a call-up to the England Under-19 squad, was set to miss the match with a foot injury.
He joined the club at the age of 15 and made his professional debut against Watford in April 2006.
The striker went on to make 35 appearances in all competitions last term - scoring six goals.
QPR rejected a £200,000 bid from Colchester for Jones at the end of last season.
He had yet to feature this season but was highly-rated by the club and had also attracted interest from Premier League clubs.
Jones would have been 19 on Tuesday.
Last year QPR were struck by tragedy when youth team player Kiyan Prince was stabbed to death outside his school at the age of 15. BBC
