The motorcyclist and passenger who died in a collision on the A61 between Wakefield and Barnsley on Sunday have been named by West Yorkshire Police.
Christopher Barton, aged 56, and Janine Barton, aged 48 died in the crash, along with a family of four, including two children.
Paying tribute to the couple, they were described by their son as “a loving, caring mum and dad who always put me before everything else.”
The couple had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
Family liaison officers are supporting both families, and we would ask that people respect their right to privacy at this difficult time.
