Detective Inspector Paul Conroy of West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision and Enquiry Team said officers were made aware of the collision at 6.56am.

He said Mrs Jaworski-Green, a lab technician who lived at Blenheim Chase in Scissett, was driving as silver Kia in the direction of Wakefield when it was involved in the crash with a silver BMW being driven in the opposite direction, towards West Bretton.

DI Conroy said the other vehicle "negotiated a right hand bend and crossed over, entering the opposing carriageway, travelling in her [Kate's] line and collided head on with her vehicle".

Mrs Jaworski-Green was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with serious injuries and died two days later, at 10.05pm on January 29.
