Families of Boxing Day crash victims pay tribute
The families of three people killed in a Boxing day crash in Doncaster have paid tribute to the victims and to the local community.
Andrew Tomlinson, 48, and Faye Tomlinson and Mandy Deere, both 54, died in Askern when they were hit by a blue volvo.
A fourth pedestrian, 57-year-old John Deere, remains critically ill in hospital.
In a joint statement, their families said:
"We would like to sincerely thank the community of Askern, and Doncaster, for their continued generosity with fund raising towards funeral costs for Andrew, Fay and Mandy.
"We are extremely humbled by the number of people who have donated, laid flowers, and attended the recent memorial to support our family and offer their condolences.
"Boxing Day's tragic events have devastated our family, changing our lives forever, leaving behind nine children, 19 grandchildren, parents, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, who are completely heartbroken. There is now a huge hole in our family which will never be repaired.
"Everyone’s thoughts and prayers for John's recovery are very much appreciated, and we kindly ask that our privacy continues to be respected throughout this devastating time."
A 24-year-old man has been charged with multiple road traffic offences and is due to appear in Sheffield Crown Court later this month.
