Police investigating a horrific car crash in Bradford which claimed three lives yesterday issued a fresh appeal for information.

Officers want to trace the occupants of a silver Renault Clio three-door car which was seen in Thornton Road immediately before the high-speed collision, which killed Jonathan Adam Ruthven, 27, soldier Daniel Hague, 32, and 19-year-old Jade Best.

The crash happened shortly after 11pm on Monday, September 16, when a black Mitsubishi Evo car, driven by Mr Ruthven, was travelling towards Bradford.

It left the road close to the junction with Kipping Lane, Thornton, and crashed into a hairdressing salon.

A spokesman said the occupants of the Renault could have seen the Mitsubishi Evo before it went out of control and urged them to come forward.
