## Summary

A 50-year-old man has appeared in court charged over a 2024 crash on the A61 that killed six people, including two young sisters. The case has been sent to Crown Court because the alleged offences are too serious for magistrates to hear, but no details of the man’s alleged role have been released.

The victims were Shane Roller, 33, his partner Shannen Morgan, 30, their daughters Rubie, nine, and Lillie, four, and married couple Christopher and Janine Barton, who were riding a motorbike. Christopher Cockell faces six counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of failing to stop after a road accident. He did not enter pleas and was released on bail ahead of a hearing at Leeds Crown Court on 1 December.
