Fund set up for Hartlepool crash death family

Hartlepool man John Crompton, 31, and two of his children died after the the crash which happened after 7am on Sunday on the A39 in Beaurepaire-en-Bresse between Lyon and Dijon.

It is thought that Mr Crompton's wife and youngest child were flown to hospital following the incident, with the child suffering serious injuries.

Now, a Go Fund Me page has been set up to assist the family.

Mr Crompton's partner and the couple's youngest child are believed to be in hospital in France as a result of injuries sustained in the accident.

A message on the page reads: "Makayla and John's family would like to thank everyone for their continuing kind words and support.

"Please keep praying for Makayla and baby Kyle's recovery.

"We are aware that there is another go fund me page set up in Euros, however we'd like to set up another page in the UK, for those wanting to donate in GBP.

"All proceeds raised are to help Makayla and her family who were involved in tragic car accident in France on Sunday 24th April, suffering the loss of John, Morgan and Evie-Lily."
