Two people have died after a horror crash in a grave yard in the early hours of this morning (Thurs).

Emergency services rushed to the grounds of the cemetery in Bradford, West Yorks., just before 5am, where the Volkswagen Polo had crashed into a tree.

Two people were pulled from the wreckage of the silver motor and rushed to hospital, but they were later pronounced dead.

A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Two occupants of the vehicle sadly died from their injuries."

Photos from the scene showed the badly damaged car on its side on a grass verge in the cemetery.
