A MAN and a woman from Leeds have been named as the two people who died in a double fatal road traffic collision in Brighouse last week.

Joe De Garis, 30, and Natalie Sanderson, 26, both from Leeds, died following a collision on Wakefield Road between Loxley Road and Sherwood Road just after 8,30pm on Tuesday, September 6.

The VW Golf they were travelling in was in collision with a white Vauxhall Corsa.

Tributes have been paid on social media and a dedicated page has been set up in memory of Mr De Garis.

Laura Oakes posted on Natalie Sanderson’s Facebook page: “Words can’t even describe how sorry I am and gutted that you’re now living with the angels.

“You have a heart of gold, Natalie, and are proof that big guy only takes the best!”

Louise McCullagh wrote: “I hope you knew how much you were loved, admired and appreciated.”

Claire Earl wrote on Facebook: “Absolutely heart wrecking waking up to this news. Won’t be the same without you.”

A floral tribute has also been placed at the scene of the crash.

A note attached reads: “Joe and Natalie. Such a tragic loss of young life. All our love xxx”

A 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and remains on police bail.

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses.
