A Ukrainian family who had moved to the UK and settled in Ripon have been named as the victims of a collision on the A61 on Sunday.

Daria Bartienieva, 35, her son Ihor, six, and stepdaughter Anastasiia, 15, all died when the car Mrs Bartienieva was driving struck a double-decker bus in the village of South Stainley.

North Yorkshire Police have now confirmed their identities.

The family were travelling in a Vauxhall Meriva. A Toyota Aygo heading in the same direction was also involved in the collision with the bus, which was travelling in the opposite direction. Nobody else was seriously injured.

Another teenage girl, a sister and stepsister of the children killed, has now been left without immediate family and is being cared for by friends.

Ripon resident Donna Chilcott has set up a Gofundme page which has already raised over £14,000 for the surviving girl, named Liza, and there is also a collection at The Black Swan pub.

The supermarket worker told the SWNS news agency that the children's father had died earlier this year in a car crash in Ukraine, after which the family had fled the war-torn country. It is not known whether he was on military service at the time.

Ms Chilcott said that 15-year-old victim Anastasiia had only been in the UK for five weeks. Six-year-old Ihor had started at a school in Ripon.
