A couple who died when their car and a motorbike collided on a rural West Yorkshire road have been named locally as Shannen Morgan and Shane Roller.
Ms Morgan, Mr Roller and two girls in the Ford Focus car were killed on the A61 between Wakefield and Barnsley on Sunday afternoon.
The man and woman who were on the motorbike also died at the scene, officers said.
Mr Roller’s brother, Callum said in a social media post that his heart had been “ripped into a million pieces”.
‘Absolutely broken’
The fatal crash happened between Staincross and Newmillerdam at about 15:55 BST and the road is still shut between Shaw Lane and Warren Lane.
Officers remained at the scene on Monday and flowers have begun to be left near a wall close to where the road is blocked.
Mr Roller’s brother Callum also said: “It’s absolutely broken my heart and it’s absolutely broken both sides of the families.
“You all had a heart of gold and gonna miss you all like crazy… my heart goes out to Shannen’s side of the family and mine.”
Jamie Phillips, who was among those leaving flowers at the scene, said he was friends with Mr Roller.
“He was a normal, working lad… a nice kid, he was always smiling.
“He was cheerful and loved his family.”
“I couldn’t sleep all night knowing what had happened… Barnsley is only small so it is going to affect quite a lot of people,” he added.
Meanwhile, a friend of Ms Morgan’s said in a Facebook post there were “no words to describe the utter loss this has created for family and friends and the community around us”.
She added: “My heart is truly broken.”
Security minister Dan Jarvis, MP for Barnsley North, said it was “devastating news”.
Speaking on X, Mr Jarvis said: “My heartfelt condolences go to the family and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives.”
Supt Alan Travis, from West Yorkshire Police, said: “This is an absolutely tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of six lives.
“Our thoughts go out to the families of those who have died who we are working with to provide support at this time.”
The force has also appealed for any witnesses to come forward.
