It comes just days after inquests into the deaths of the four men killed were opened in Wakefield on Thursday.
“Following consultation with the police and with agreement from the families, this page has been set up to help raise funds for the families of all the victims to help them at this difficult time,” Mr Andrew wrote on the dedicated JustGiving page.
“The whole community of Horsforth are so shocked and saddened at the loss of four young lives.
