Overview
- Emergency services were called to West Lane at about 12:55am on December 20 after a grey Ford Fiesta crashed into a property's garden, and 18-year-old driver Sidney Brook was pronounced dead at the scene.
- A 17-year-old female passenger remains in hospital with serious injuries, with reports differing on whether her condition is critical or stable.
- West Yorkshire Police’s Major Collision Enquiry Team is leading the investigation and urges witnesses or anyone with footage to contact 101 or use live chat quoting log 0095 of December 20.
- Officers say the Fiesta may have been travelling in tandem with a white Suzuki Swift SZ3 shortly before the collision.
