Investigations into the cause of the crash which claimed the lives of Amy Louise Hardy, 20, of Barmby Moor, and 18 year old Lindsay Coulter-Maltby, of Fangfoss, are continuing.

Three other people who were in the red Vauxhall Corsa involved in the crash on the B1246 at around 11.30pm on Monday were injured and taken to York District Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A 17 year old youth, who was in the car, was arrested yesterday and later released on bail pending further inquiries.

Police have renewed their appeal for anyone who saw the crash or anyone who saw the car on the B1246 to come forward.

Collision investigators have been to the scene of the incident and a forensic examination of the car is being carried out.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 0845 6060222, quoting log number 884 of August 18.

Meanwhile, traffic officers are to renew their efforts to cut casualties on the area's roads - particularly in incidents involving young drivers.

Casualty reduction officer, PC Glen Dennis, said: "Across the Humberside region, young drivers account for almost a third of those involved in fatal collisions and the East Riding has the worst problem with around 30 per cent of those collisions happening here.

"As a force, we are working to tackle this problem and are taking steps to try and reduce these numbers and prevent other families having to cope with the loss of loved ones through incidents on our roads."

Enforcement campaigns were carried out in Beverley, Bridlington, Goole and Hessle earlier this year, in which more than 70 young drivers were prosecuted for motoring offences.

Around a quarter of fixed penalty notices issued to motorists in 2006 and 2007 were also given to young drivers.

Further enforcement action is planned in the coming months and Arrive, Be Safe (ABS) programmes will also be staged in sixth form colleges across the region in partnership with the fire service, local authorities and other agencies.
