Three arrests as man dies in Yorkshire crash after 'travelling at speed'
A man has died and three others have been arrested following a crash in Yorkshire at the weekend.
West Yorkshire Police said an Audi RS3 had left the A650 Wakefield Road near Drighlington on Saturday night (Jan 24) after it was ‘driving at speed’.
The driver of the Audi, a 44-year-old man, died at the scene while two passengers were treated for minor injuries after the car crashed into some fencing.
The force said it is thought the Audi may have been “driving at speed” alongside a grey Mercedes AMG E63 just before the crash happened.
A statement said: “Three people have been arrested, a 17-year old boy, a 22-year-old man and a 41-year-old man. The 17 and 22-year-olds have both been released on bail and the 41-year-old remains in custody.
“Officers from the Major Collision Enquiry Team would like to speak to anyone who has witnessed the collision itself or who saw the Audi or Mercedes cars travelling between Lockwood Way in Leeds and the site of the collision.
“They are also appealing for any motorists who were in the area who have a dashcam to check whether they have captured any relevant footage.”
