A man and a woman who were among six killed in a crash in West Yorkshire have been named.

Christopher Barton, 56, and Janine Barton, 48, died after a motorbike they were riding collided with a car on the A61 between Wakefield and Barnsley, on Sunday.

In a tribute released by the couple’s son through West Yorkshire Police, they were described as “a loving, caring mum and dad who always put me before everything else”.

The couple had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

Mrs Barton appears to have lived in the Barnsley, according to social media.

Shane Roller, 33, his 30-year-old partner Shannen Morgan and their daughters Rubie and Lillie Morgan-Roller, aged nine and four, were also killed in the crash.

So far, more than £200,000 has been raised for the family’s 11-year-old girl left orphaned after the crash.

The page, set up by family friend Paul Hepple, said the 11-year-old had “lost her whole world in an instant”.

She will now be cared for by her aunt, “who is an amazing, loving, and capable guardian”, Mr Hepple said in an update on Tuesday.
