Four members of the same family, including two young girls, have been killed in a horror car crash that left an 11-year-old girl orphaned as well as two motorcyclists dead.
Shannen Morgan, her partner Shane Roller, and their daughters Lillie and Rubie, aged nine and four, died when their Ford Focus was in a collision with a motorbike on a rural West Yorkshire road at around 3.54pm on Sunday afternoon.
West Yorkshire Police said the motorcyclist and pillion passenger, a man and a woman, were also confirmed dead at the scene on the A61 between Staincross in Barnsley, and Newnmillerdam in Wakefield.
Organisers of an online fundraiser set up for Ms Morgan and Mr Roller's third daughter, 11-year-old Poppie, who was not in the car, said she "lost her whole world in an instant" as they paid tribute to her "loving" family.
A GoFundMe page, which had reached more than £50,000 by yesterday afternoon, said: "We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and a plea for help. On 21st July 2024, a tragic car accident took the lives of Poppie's entire family her loving mum, dad, and two little sisters. At just 11 years old, Poppie has lost her whole world in an instant."
