A man arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after six people were killed in a crash has been released on bail.

Nine-year-old Rubie Morgan-Roller and Lillie Morgan-Roller, four, died alongside their mother Shannen Morgan and father Shane Roller when their car collided with a motorbike.

Christopher and Janine Barton, who were both travelling on the motorcycle, also died in the crash on the A61 between Barnsley and Wakefield on Sunday afternoon.

On Wednesday, police arrested the man and appealed for anyone who saw a grey Porsche 911 being driven in the area around the time of the collision to come forward.

The Bartons’ BMW S100 XR motorbike and the family’s Ford Focus collided on the road at about 15:55 BST.

Mr Roller and his partner, from Barnsley, had another daughter, aged 11, who was not with them at the time of the crash.

More than £375,000 has been raised for the surviving daughter of Ms Morgan, 30, and her partner after a GoFundMe campaign was set up by family friend Paul Hepple.
