Police Arrest Four People Following Fatal Collision
Police investigating a fatal crash near Doncaster have arrested four people.
A total of four people have now been arrested in connection with a crash which left two people dead when a car ploughed into the front garden of a house in Doncaster.
Two men died and another was left with serious injuries after a Renault Megane overturned and burst into flames in the village of Branton.
Police have been searching for two other men, believed to have fled from the burning vehicle, who may also be seriously hurt.
Now South Yorkshire Police have said 21-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy from the Doncaster area have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
The 21 year old was arrested in South Wales.
An 18 year old man, also from Doncaster, was arrested a few hours later on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
A 21-year-old-woman from the Doncaster area has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Investigators have also appealed for the occupants of another vehicle to come forward.
Inspector Steve Askham, who is leading the inquiry, said:
"We believe those inside an estate car towing a caravan seen at the crash site when it happened could have witnessed the collision.
"We are still piecing together the events of that day and information from witnesses is crucial to finding answers about what happened.
"We continue to explore the possibility that a second car was involved in the incident and this will form part of our ongoing investigation.''
Work is ongoing to formally identify the two deceased men, the officer said.
The man who survived the crash and remained at the scene is still in a critical condition in hospital.
The crash happened at the junction of a busy road and a quiet residential cul-de-sac.
