Three people died and another person was seriously injured in a crash involving two cars on a main road.

A man and a woman died in a Ford Focus which was in collision with a BMW on the A59 Harrogate to Skipton road in North Yorkshire on Saturday.

A police spokesman said the male driver of the BMW died later from his injuries and a woman passenger was badly hurt.

He said the collision happened at about 1100 BST at Beamsley Hill, about eight miles east of Skipton.

The road was closed for some time.
