A HUSBAND and wife who died when their motorbike was involved in a crash that also killed a family of four have been named.
Christopher Barton, 56, and his wife Janine, 48, were travelling on the same bike when they collided with a Ford Focus on the A61, near Staincross, on Sunday afternoon.
Their son - who has not been named - described them as ‘a loving, caring mum and dad who always put me before everything else’.
Mr and Mrs Barton, from Barnsley, had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
Four members of the same family who were in the car - Shannen Morgan and Shane Roller and their daughters Rubie, nine, and Lillie, four - also died in the crash.
A police spokesperson said: “Family liaison officers are supporting both families and we would ask that people respect their right to privacy at this difficult time.”
Anyone who witnessed the collision or who has dash-cam footage who has not already been in contact with police is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police by calling 101 or go online at westyorkshire.police.uk/livechat, quoting reference 1157 of July 21.
