POLICE have confirmed the identity of a man who died when the car in which he was travelling split in half after hitting a road sign.
Matthew Culpeper-Smith, of Stourton Grange, Leeds, was a rear-seat passenger in the Volkswagen, which skidded off the A64 at Bilbrough, near York, early on Saturday.
Mr Culpeper-Smith's 19-year-old brother, Adam, survived the accident, with 17-year-old driver Mark Chambers, of Lofthouse, near Wakefield, and 19-year-old Stephen Smith, of Belle Isle, Leeds, although all three needed treatment at York District Hospital.
