A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving over a crash that killed six people, including two children.
The crash between a Ford Focus carrying a family and a motorbike with a husband and wife riding it happened on the A61 between Wakefield and Barnsley just before 4pm on Sunday.
Shane Roller, 33, his 30-year-old partner Shannen Morgan and their daughters Rubie and Lillie Morgan-Roller, aged nine and four, were killed in the crash.
A GoFundMe page set up for Mr Roller and Ms Morgan’s surviving daughter, who is understood not to have been with them at the time of the crash, reached more than £200,000 by Tuesday morning.
The page, set up by family friend Paul Hepple, said the 11-year-old had “lost her whole world in an instant”.
Christopher Barton, 56, and Janine Barton, 48, also died on the motorbike they were riding.
In a tribute released by their son through West Yorkshire Police, they were described as “a loving, caring mum and dad who always put me before everything else”.
