He was one of three men killed while travelling in a BMW that eyewitnesses say was travelling in the wrong direction moments before crashing into Mrs Clark's Peugeot.

In his comment, Mr Clark said: "Hi everyone. I'm Alison's husband. The families and friends of all who died are grieving at the moment. And I would ask if I have say in this for them to be allowed to do so in peace.

The three young men who died in the BMW which crashed on the A63: Sam Connors, Willy Harty and Lawrence James. Their BMW collided with a Peugeot being driven by Alison Clark from Elloughton, who also died

"I thought the gesture of releasing the balloons was beautiful, and I hope it brought a feeling of calm. There are other people here, which include entirely innocent children.

"I have received many messages from this group, and the raised total for Ali's memorial garden is fantastic. I thank you, it's bringing some comfort in an otherwise living nightmare."

A white BMW, carrying pals Sam Connors, Willy Hart and Lawrence James, collided with 43-year-old Mrs Clark's Peugeot on Monday, November 22.

Friends of cherished Elloughton mum Mrs Clark came together to fundraise for a memorial garden at her nine-year-old daughter's school to honour the work she did for others.

The three young men travelling in the BMW were all in their early twenties and from the Leeds area.

It is believed Willy Harty was the father of a young girl with another child on the way.

Moments before the crash, the white BMW 1 series had been seen by witnesses driving the wrong way onto the westbound A63 from the Melton interchange.

The BMW is believed to have already aroused the suspicion of police and moments before it ploughed into Mrs Clark's Peugeot, a number of police vehicles were seen in the area.

There are unconfirmed reports that earlier that same night, a vehicle matching the description of the white BMW was seen by witnesses heading away from Hull and ignoring traffic signals.

It is known that Humberside Police were involved in a “short pursuit” of the BMW in the events leading up to the incident at around 10pm.

Emergency services arrived at the scene soon after the collision where Mrs Clark was confirmed to have died at the scene along with Willy Harty and Lawrence James.

Sam Connors was rushed to Hull Royal Infirmary in a critical condition with serious injuries. He passed away on Saturday.

Humberside Police has said it is now working with the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to its involvement in the events leading up to the incident.

An inquest into the deaths will be conducted at Hull Coroner’s Court.
