Girl, 11, loses her entire family in horror car crash

A young girl is now the only surviving member of her family after her parents and two younger sisters went out for the day and never came back.

A young girl has been orphaned after her parents and two sisters died in a crash that tragically wiped out her entire family.

Poppie Morgan-Roller, 11, had chosen not to join her family for a day out, instead going to a friend’s house while mum Shannen Morgan, dad Shane Roller, and sisters Rubie, nine, and Lillie, four, headed out.

However, the four never made it back, after a motorbike collided with their Ford Focus during the drive home – killing the parents and their two youngest children.

A GoFundMe for the girl, from the UK town of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, has since raised almost £330,000 (about $640,000 Australian dollars) since the tragedy occurred on Sunday, Metro reports.

Its organiser, family friend Paul Hepple, was looking after Poppie at the time and has described her as a “bright and resilient young girl” who has turned to Taylor Swift’s music to find comfort after she “lost her whole world in an instant”.

“Despite her unimaginable loss, she shows incredible strength every day,” he wrote on the fundraiser.

“Poppie now faces an uncertain future. With her immediate family gone, she needs support to ensure she has a stable, loving environment where she can heal and grow.”

The horror unfolded on Sunday afternoon as the family were travelling in their car via a major trunk road in northern England.

Shocking pictures taken after the horror smash show the burnt out wreckage of the family’s car.

The motorcyclist and a female passenger have been named as Christopher Barton, 56, and his wife Janine, according to the BBC. They were also killed in the collision.

Mr Hepple said everyone was just tucking into a roast dinner when the phone rang with the devastating news.

“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,” he told Mail Online.

“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] aunty 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.”

Devastated friends and family have now paid tribute to the family on social media, and vowed to look after Poppie.

Shane’s brother Callum said he was “lost for words”, adding: “I’m absolutely heartbroken. I’m gonna miss all of you! You all had a heart of gold. My heart is ripped into a million pieces!”

Shannen’s friend Chelsea Element wrote: “You are and always will be one of my closest friends.

“There are no words to describe the utter loss this has created for family/friends and the community around us.

“I hope you’re at peace Shannen Morgan and Shane Roller, with your beautiful girls.

“Everyone will always look after [the eldest girl], she will never want for anything she has the love of everyone.”

Her cousin Beth Brittain said: “My heart just hurts my brain won’t accept what’s happened.

“Shannen you were always my extra sister not just my cousin, we grew together. I just can’t speak. No words. Sleep tight my little Roller family your memory will live on for eternity.”

While another added: “My heart is absolutely shattered, I’m lost, I’m numb. It just doesn’t seem real that all four off you are gone.”

Superintendent Alan Travis of Wakefield District Police said: “This is an absolutely tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of six lives.

“Our thoughts go out to the families of those who have died who we are working with to provide support at this time.”
