'Just terrible' | |
Sgt Pete Serhatlic told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's absolutely horrific, it's an extremely sad situation. | |
"To a certain degree it's pretty unbelievable that five young people have lost their lives in an incident like this." | |
The scene of the crash is just 100m from the location of a collision which killed three teenagers on the same road three years ago. | |
A 14, 15, and 16-year-old died after the car they were in hit a tree in 2011. Tributes to them are still visible on a nearby tree. | |
A man who lives near the scene said: "It's just terrible. It was foggy here last night just like it is now. It's only a few years ago that all those other kids died. Terrible." | |
Formal identification had not yet taken place. | |
The driver of the Seat suffered a broken leg. | |
The road has been reopened by officers, who appealed for anyone with information to contact South Yorkshire Police. |
