An 11-year-old girl has been left orphaned following a horrific crash which killed four members of her family as well as two motorcyclists.
Shane Roller, his partner Shannen Morgan and their daughters Lillie and Rubie died on the A61 near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, at around 3.54pm on Sunday when their Ford Focus was in a collision with a motorbike.
A gofundme page set up for 11-year-old Poppie, who was not in the car, had reached more than £31,000 by Monday lunchtime.
The fundraiser page said: “We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts and a plea for help.
“On 21st July 2024, a tragic car accident took the lives of Poppie’s entire family — her loving mum, dad, and two little sisters.
“At just 11 years old, Poppie has lost her whole world in an instant.”
Mr Roller’s brother Callum wrote on Facebook on Sunday: “I’m absolutely heartbroken I’m gonna miss all of you!

I cant imagine what that 11 year old girl will have to go through! It's absolutely devastating!
The motorcyclist and its passenger havent been named, hopefully they have been identified and their loved ones sadly informed.
I don't know how hard they crashed, but my condolence to all victim's family.
Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 💔 Rest in heavenly peace to everyone involved and those beautiful children🙏🏼 may Jesus wrap his arms around poppy and guide her through her life. ❤️ amen.
Poor Poppie, she lost her entire close family in an instant. If she got in the car, she would’ve been dead too. Fly high everyone involved in the accident.
Absolutely shocking and so desperately sad.
Very sad entire family lost their lives 😢😭😡
There's no witness who can explain what happened but I blame the drivers with excessive, dangerous high speed😡
Very sad for the accident. RIP.😢
Some of the speeds these motor bikes do is very dangerous especially built up areas, they don’t only endanger themselves but also others as well.
They travel at breakneck speeds literally!
Absolutely dreadful and heartbreaking. For all the people in the car to die, the crash must have been utterly horrendous.
Why did they give their kids them white people dreads
Condolences to the victims relatives.
Deepest condolences to the family, cant imagine what the surviving sibling is going through. Terrible news 🙏🙏.
