Three teenagers killed in Wakefield automotive crash as one other fights for all times after car hits tree

Three teenagers have died tragically in a car crash in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Police said a black Seat Ibiza had been travelling on Bramley Lane in the village of West Bretton when it left the road at around 8.30pm.

The 18-year-old driver and two 19-year-old passengers died, while two other men in the car were taken to hospital. One is said to be in a critical condition and the other has injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Police are now calling for potential witnesses of the crash to come forward, particularly motorists who may have recorded dashcam footage of the Seat prior to the incident.

West Yorkshire Police senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: “This is a tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of three lives and fourth person suffering critical injuries. Our thoughts go out to the families of those involved who we are working with to provide support.

“Our specialist collision investigators are establishing the circumstances surrounding this fatal collision and I would urge anyone who may have seen the car involved or who may have dashcam or other video footage that will help our enquiries to please contact us.”
