More than £200,000 has been raised for an 11-year-old girl left orphaned after her parents and two sisters were killed in a car crash.
Shane Roller, his partner Shannen Morgan, and two of their daughters, Lillie and Rubie, died on the A61 near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on Sunday.
A Gofundme page set up for their surviving daughter, who is understood not to have been with them at the time of the crash, reached more than £200,000 by Tuesday morning.
The page, set up by family friend Paul Hepple, said the 11-year-old had “lost her whole world in an instant”.

She will now be cared for by her aunt, “who is an amazing, loving, and capable guardian”, Mr Hepple said in an update on Tuesday.
The money will go towards living expenses, education and counselling, he added.
Mr Hepple said some of the money may be used to cover funeral expenses, depending on the family’s wishes.
He thanked the 12,500 people who have so far donated and said the contributions were “making a significant difference… providing her with the stability and care she needs during this difficult time”.
