As reported by the Courier, police closed Market Street on Wednesday evening after a grey Audi Q3 hit The Halifax at around 5.50pm.

The driver of the car – a 72-year-old man – was taken to hospital but pronounced dead a short time later.

Anyone who saw what happened or has information that might help police should contact the Roads Policing Unit by calling 101 or by using the live chat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website, quoting log reference 1342 of February 22.
