Who were the men who died in the car crash in Kiveton Park?

They have been identified locally as Martin Ward, Mason Hall and Ryan Lee.

Who has paid tributes to the men who died in the Kiveton Park crash?

A number of people have come forward to pay their respects to Martin, Mason and Ryan.

Martin’s mum, Sara Jane Smith, said her son had the ‘biggest heart’ and that he and his best friend Mason would be ‘so sadly missed’.

The pair had been close since they were children and had ‘grown up together’.

She added: "This shouldn’t have happened, they were far too young to have this happen. They hadn’t even lived their lives.”

Mason’s grandfather, Peter Hall, revealed that he died just days after his 19th birthday.

He paid tribute to the ‘big strong lad’ while laying flowers at the scene of the crash on BBC Look North on Monday night.

He said: “My other two grandkids, they were all crying last night, but what can you do. Everybody is upset aren’t they – my son, his nana...

"We were at his birthday last week. His last words he said to me were ‘I don’t come to see you all that often grandad but I still love thee’.

“[He was a] Good lad. Big strong lad. 19 is no age is it?”

One person described the men as ‘vibrant souls’, while many people said they were ‘heartbroken’ and their thoughts were with their parents and families.

Another described one of the men as ‘one of the nicest boys I know’ and added ‘you’re going to be missed so much’.

Someone else who knew the men who died wrote: “Can’t believe you have gone you will be missed bro’s love you forever.”

Wales ward councillor Dominic Beck, who lives in Kiveton Park, is another person who paid tribute to the victims of the crash.

He said: "Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the families and friends of those young people who sadly passed away yesterday evening.

"I've been there this morning and I was able to speak to members of the community. Everyone's in a state of shock.

"It's important in times like these particularly as it's so soon after the event that we just take time to reflect and make sure we're thinking about the families and friends of those people who lost their lives in this tragedy."

A fireworks display was held in memory of the teenagers in Burgoyne Park, Aston, on Monday evening and a car decorated with their names has been left at the scene.
