A woman driver and her teenage passenger were among three people killed in a seven-vehicle motorway pile-up in northern England, police said this afternoon.
The 36-year-old woman and the 17-year-old boy, a back seat passenger, were killed instantly when their Vauxhall Cavalier left the carriageway and careered down an embankment, Humberside Police said.
The 52-year-old driver of a Honda CRV died in hospital after his vehicle overturned during the incident. No further details of the victims have been released.
The crash, involving a lorry and six cars, happened on the M62 on Friday night.
Six people sustained injuries in the accident, on a west-bound stretch of the motorway between junctions 35 and 36 at 6.45pm yesterday, and were taken to Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
No details were released on the nature of their injuries.
