Two crash victims named as further arrest made

Two men who died in a three-vehicle crash in Halifax on Wednesday evening have been named.

Corey Graham and Cassius Bryant, both 22, and a third man aged 21 who has not yet been named by police, died in a collision on Keighley Road in Illingworth.

A 26-year-old man from the Bradford area was arrested on Friday on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and was being held in custody, West Yorkshire Police said.

Meanwhile, a man aged 37 who was arrested on Wednesday had been released on bail, with two women also taken into custody on Wednesday no longer under arrest, the force said.

A white Ford Fiesta, a blue BMW and a stationary, unoccupied Renault Clio were involved in the crash on Keighley Road at the junction of Cobblestones Drive at about 18:50 GMT.

Floral tributes were left at the scene of the crash on Friday morning.

The three men who died and a 21-year-old passenger - who is in a critical but stable condition in hospital - were travelling in the white Ford.

Graham's twin brother Connor was killed aged two-and-a half when he was hit by a car as he left Stepping Stones Nursery in Boothtown in August 2006.

Appealing for witnesses, officers said they believed a fourth vehicle not directly involved in the collision was in the area at the time.

Det Sgt Paul Lightowler said: "Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the people who died. Specially trained officers will be supporting the families involved.

"This is a tragic incident and extensive inquiries are ongoing at the scene.

"I would like to appeal to anyone who was travelling in the area who may have witnessed the collision to come forward.

"We are also keen to see any dashcam footage of the vehicles prior to the collision."
