FLORAL tributes have been left at the scene of a fatal crash in Bradford this morning, after an 18-year-old died in a collision yesterday.
Flowers have been laid down on Broadstone Way, Holme Wood, following the incident, in which the teenager, Rahees Mahmood, suffered serious head injuries when a car collided with a quad bike.
Heartfelt messages have been left by friends and family, with one reading "fly high, forever in our thoughts, miss you always. Don't be partying too hard up there".
Another says "gone but never forgotten", while others read "rest easy" and "gone too soon".
Social media posts and a banner draped at the scene, bearing tributes from well-wishers, name the boy who died as Rahees.
Today, West Yorkshire Police said that the driver of the quad bike, a 19-year-old man, was also taken to hospital and remains in a serious condition.
Police added that detectives had launched a murder investigation and two men, aged 19 and 30, have been arrested and remain in custody.
