A 15-year-old girl killed in a crash on the A19 in North Yorkshire has been named.

Carly Smith died and seven others, including three other children and a baby, were hurt in the crash at Chapel Haddlesey, near Selby, on Monday.

North Yorkshire Police said two cars, a Ford Focus and a Vauxhall Astra, had collided at about 20:15 BST. The A19 was closed for several hours.

An inquest into the teenager's death has been opened and adjourned.
