(about 1 hour later) | |
Two brothers and their friend have been killed in a motorway crash on their way home from watching the England football team beat Kazakhstan at Wembley. | |
Tony Worby, 25, his brother Jonathan, 21, and Gareth Rhodes, 23, were in a silver Ford Mondeo which left the M1 in South Yorkshire on Saturday night. | |
The men were travelling back to their homes in Bradford, West Yorkshire. | |
Police said the car went over a barrier and hit a road sign just past junction 32 on the northbound carriageway. | |
The junction is the exit slip road for the M18 motorway. | |
South Yorkshire Police said the car was travelling in the outside lane before it moved across the motorway to the hard shoulder, where it went over a barrier and struck a road sign. | |
The Worby brothers lived on Rowlerstone Rise, in the Greengates area of Bradford. | |
Mr Rhodes lived in Lavell Mews, Eccleshill. | |
Sgt Andy Noble, from South Yorkshire Police, said: "Sadly all three occupants of the vehicle were killed and obviously we are keen to try to trace any witnesses to that crash or any movements of that Mondeo prior to the collision." | Sgt Andy Noble, from South Yorkshire Police, said: "Sadly all three occupants of the vehicle were killed and obviously we are keen to try to trace any witnesses to that crash or any movements of that Mondeo prior to the collision." |
