Two people have died after a crash in East Yorkshire on Boxing Day.

A man and a girl died in the incident on Garrowby Street, about 14 miles east of York shortly before 5pm and involved a black Audi A4 and a blue Skoda Kodiaq.

Emergency services attended but driver of the Audi, a 66-year-old man, died at the scene.

A 10-year-old girl, who was in the Skoda at the time of the collision, was taken to hospital where she died a short time later.

The girl’s family later named her as Abbie Wilson, from Bradford.

“Abbie was such a lovable young girl,” the family said in a statement.

“ She would constantly have us looking at houses she would find on the internet, describing her dream home for when she grew up. “We will miss her so much.”

Both of the victims’ families have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers at this difficult time.

Six other people suffered what are thought to be serious injuries in the collision.

It is believed that the Skoda was travelling from the coast and the Audi from the York area and police have asked anyone who saw the vehicles prior to the collision to contact them.

Officers are also keen to hear from any witnesses, or anyone with dashcam footage from the area at the time, to call 101 quoting log 339 of 26 December.
