A man arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after six people were killed in a crash has been released on bail.
Nine-year-old Rubie Morgan-Roller and Lillie Morgan-Roller, four, died alongside their mother Shannen Morgan and father Shane Roller when their car collided with a motorbike.
Christopher and Janine Barton, who were both travelling on the motorcycle, also died in the crash on the A61 between Barnsley and Wakefield on Sunday afternoon.

In an update earlier, West Yorkshire Police said the man had been released on bail pending further enquiries.
The Bartons’ BMW S1000 XR motorbike and the family’s Ford Focus collided on the road at about 15:55 BST.

More than £375,000 has been raised for the surviving daughter of Ms Morgan, 30, and her partner after a GoFundMe campaign was set up by family friend Paul Hepple.
In an update posted on the page, Mr Hepple said: “We are absolutely overwhelmed by the incredible generosity and love that has poured in from around the world.”
