A man was arrested today on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a fireball crash which killed six people, including four members of the same family.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Shane Roller, 33, his partner Shannen Morgan, 30, and two of their daughters, Rubie and Lillie Morgan-Roller, aged nine and four, were killed when their Ford Focus collided with a motorbike on the A61 near Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Their surviving daughter Poppie, 11, was staying with a friend as her whole family perished in the tragedy.
INVESTIGATION REVEALS
Christopher Barton, 56, and wife Janine, 48, were yesterday named as the motorcycle rider and pillion passenger killed – they leave behind a 21-year-old son called Lewis who was on holiday in Thailand when he heard about the tragedy.
West Yorkshire Police said a man was arrested this morning and appealed to anyone who had seen a grey coloured Porsche 911 in the area to come forward. The suspect was today being questioned by detectives in custody.
The crash happened on the A61 between Wakefield and Barnsley shortly before 4pm on Sunday.
All six victims died at the scene with the Ford Focus said to have exploded after leaving the road.
