It happened at about 19:50 at the Gledholt Bank junction when a Mercedes C class car was travelling along Market Street.

It then turned left onto Gledholt Bank and the car hit a garden wall on Longroyd Place, killing the 61-year-old driver.

West Yorkshire Police say they're appealing for witnesses.

York's long-delayed Local Plan, which sets out a blueprint for how the city will develop over the next 15 years, is to progress to the next stage.

It means 867 homes will be built every year until 2033 - this is despite government figures saying the number should be higher, at about 1,070.

The decision by councillors to approve the local plan recommendations wasn't unanimous.

Councillor Ian Gillies, who has responsibility for planning, said he couldn't support the proposals in their current form and asked for the decision to be deferred.

He said he had concerns after listening to developers who said about 20% of the proposed homes "were not achievable".

But his fellow executive members disagreed and the plan will now go to another consultation before an independent inspector considers the proposals.

A Doncaster woman is continuing to appeal for help after her dog was apparently deliberately poisoned.

Vicki Johnson, from Carcroft, says her Jack Russell died after eating paracetamol, which she believes was in some chicken thrown into her garden.

Police investigations into the dog's death are continuing.

But Cat Henstridge, from Peak Vets in Sheffield, says thankfully animal poisonings are rare:

Have you seen this man? He's wanted by police in Bradford after breaching the terms of his prison release licence.

Lee Lock was released last year after serving part of a sentence for an assault.

Now the 34-year-old has broken the terms of his licence and is due back in jail.

He has the name "Lexi" tattooed on his abdomen and "Nataly" tattooed on his back, say police.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is being asked to contact police.

No, you're not "herring" things...

Staff at Millers Fish and Chips in Haxby, near York, "cod" not believe it when they won this time round, after making it through to the finals of the National Fish & Chip Awards last year.

They say they're going to, er, "mullet" over and then their celebrations are going to be off the "scale".

Known in the industry as the Oscars of the fish and chip world, the award ceremony was held at the Lancaster Hotel in London.

Nick Miller (left) and his Dad, David, had to beat off competition from 10,500 other chippies and both say they're delighted with the prize:

Work to cut down trees in Sheffield will continue next week after a "pause", according to Sheffield City Council contractor Amey.

Yesterday, the firm's account director said work was being paused indefinitely because of concerns over the safety or their staff.

There have been daily clashes at Meersbrook Park Road for more than a week.

The tree-felling and replacement programme is part of Sheffield City Council's £2bn Streets Ahead project, which the authority says is to improve roads and footpaths in the city.

About 5,500 trees have been cut down since 2012.

The authority insists those earmarked for felling are either "dangerous, dead, diseased, dying, damaging or discriminatory".

However, campaigners say many of the trees classed by the council as "damaging" or "discriminatory" are healthy specimens which should not be cut down.

Opponents to the proposed increase say the plan would set a precedent for councils across the UK.

Lego bricks are at the heart of a bid to help people with autism in Leeds to get into the workplace.

Autism Bricks UK takes in secondhand Lego sets, restores them and then sells them.

The money raised helps fund work experience opportunities for adults like Harriet.

She says before she got involved with the project, she'd never met anyone else with autism:

Two former police officers charged in connection with the Hillsborough disaster will not receive financial aid from South Yorkshire Police.

Former Ch Supt Donald Denton and former Det Ch Insp Alan Foster are charged with perverting the course of justice.

South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner said he had considered their application for public funds for legal fees but refused them.

He added he would not be publishing his reasons for turning the application down as he was "concerned to avoid the risk that any part of his reasoning could be misconstrued as any form of comment by him on the ongoing criminal proceedings."

Campaigners fear a North Yorkshire hospital could face more cuts and are describing a consultation over its future as "closure by stealth".

The trust which runs Northallerton's Friarage Hospital is currently sifting through hundreds of responses from a series of meetings as it puts together plans for its future.

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says it's struggling to recruit A&E consultants and other staff to the hospital, but nothing about its future has been decided as yet.

But Andrew Newton, whose daughter used to be treated at the Friarage until it moved services to Middlesbrough's James Cook Hospital, says he believes health bosses are misleading the public:

Police have issued CCTV images of two people they want to speak to after a young man was robbed at knifepoint in Leeds earlier this month.

The victim, a 19-year-old male, was approached by two other males while walking near the underpass underneath the M621 on Cambrian Terrace in Holbeck.

He was threatened with a knife by one of the males who demanded his wallet and phone. The victim handed them over and was then punched by one of the males.

He was left uninjured but shaken by the attack, officers say.

Police have issued pictures of two men they want to speak to in connection with the robbery and want anyone who can identify the men to come forward.

Staff at The Leadmill in Sheffield have been digging through archives and have found a tape recording of Prince Charles speaking about his visit to The Leadmill in November 1988.

He decribes the city centre venue as ‘"a building now well restored", and goes on to describe how it houses a theatre, live music venue, educational and training centre, "not to mention a restaurant, bar, nightclub, and, they say it makes a profit!"

The Leadmill is a famous Sheffield venue - with famous nights in its history including Sheffield group Pulp playing their first gig and an early sell-out Arctic Monkeys concert.

The venue, which opened its doors in 1980, hosts regular club nights and has seen gigs by bands including The Stone Roses, The Strokes, Culture Club, Suede, Coldplay and Oasis.

You can listen to the recording of Prince Charles here:

Iby Knill, from Leeds, is one of those who survived the genocide.

She explained what happened when she and a group of her friends were taken to Auschwitz:

Today is the end of a consultation to decide what's going to happen to waste collections in Rotherham.

If the proposals are approved, general waste will be collected twice a month.

Three of those who died when the stolen car crashed into a tree were children.

Twelve-year-old Ellis Thornton-Kimmit and his 14-year-old brother Elliot died, along with Darnell Harte, who was 15, in the crash in Meanwood in November.

Anthony Armour and Robbie Meerun, who were both 24, also died.

The teenager, who's too young to be named, pleaded guilty at Leeds Crown Court last month.

A judge has already warned him he could be locked up for a long time.
