‘I spoke to family just minutes before they were killed in horror A61 crash’
A mother, father and two children were killed in a crash on Sunday, leaving one child behind.
A neighbour has revealed that she spoke to a family minutes before they were all killed in a crash.
Shannen Morgan, Shane Roller and two of their children Lillie and Rubie (four and nine) died after a crash with a motorbike on the A61, between Barnsley and Wakefield, on Sunday.
They tragically leave behind their 11-year-old daughter, Poppie Roller.
Now Megan Plummer, who lived on the same road as the "kindest" family, has told how she spoke to them just before the tragic accident.
In a post on Facebook, she wrote: "Shane, Shannen, Rubie and Lillie. Words can't even begin to describe the absolute devastation of what's happened.

"To be talking to you outside and within an hour you're taken away is just madness and my heart actually hurts. You guys were the kindest family and it has been a pleasure having you as neighbours."
She explained how her children "adored" playing with the two girls - and Lillie was even a "little girlfriend" to one of her boys.
Megan added that a "big hole" had been left and they all would be "deeply, deeply missed". She also said she "hoped and prayed" their orphaned daughter would "find a way to get through this".
The eldest daughter, aged 11, was not with the family for their outing. She had decided to go to a friend’s house for the afternoon.
Paul Hepple, who was looking after her at the time, said everyone was just tucking into a Sunday roast when the phone rang.

He told MailOnline: "Her mum actually contacted us and asked if we could watch [the girl] because she didn't want to go on the walk that they went on.
"She was with our daughter having fun. And on their way home, that's when the accident happened. We were having Sunday dinner as a family, and [the girl's] auntie was with us and obviously, [she] was as well.
"And then she got a phone call and she ended up leaving really quickly to go and see what happened."
Paul has since started a GoFundMe to help the child after she "lost her whole world in an instant". He wrote: "Despite her unimaginable loss, she shows incredible strength every day".
The man and woman riding the motorbike also died in the crash.
