:00:12. > :00:15.father and son who were both killed in a crash near Goole on Saturday.

:00:15. > :00:20.Derek Sarkar and his 14-year-old son Ethan died on the A614 near

:00:20. > :00:23.East Cowick. Mr Sarkar's wife and daughter remain in a critical

:00:23. > :00:28.condition in hospital. A third woman, Sheila Stavert-Lee from York,

:00:28. > :00:31.also died. Our correspondent Vicky Johnson reports.

:00:31. > :00:36.Close friends of 14-year-old Ethan Sarkar paying their respects at the

:00:36. > :00:40.family home. The teenager from Birmingham died along with his

:00:40. > :00:50.father Derek in a head-on collision at the Aire and Calder bridge on

:00:50. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :01:00.the A 614 near Goole. He was funny, amazing. If you were down, he would

:01:00. > :01:04.always make you smile. He was always there for you. Hard working.

:01:04. > :01:08.Tributes to Ethan were also left outside his school. He was a front

:01:08. > :01:11.seat passenger in his father's VW Golf. The driver of the other car,

:01:12. > :01:14.70-year-old Sheila Stavert Lee from near York also died. Ethan's 9-

:01:14. > :01:19.year-old sister Abbey and his mother Karen are still critically

:01:19. > :01:23.ill in Leeds General Infirmary. People living near the scene of the

:01:23. > :01:32.crash say it is a dangerous road and more needs to be done to

:01:32. > :01:40.improve safety. I think it is traffic calming

:01:40. > :01:43.measures and making people aware that it is a dangerous sport.

:01:43. > :01:49.Friends back in Birmingham say the Sarkars were in East Yorkshire

:01:49. > :01:52.visiting relatives when the tragedy happened.

:01:52. > :01:55.In other news, the National Farmers Union is warning cattle farmers to

:01:55. > :01:59.look out for cases of Schmallenberg, a disease which causes birth

:01:59. > :02:02.defects in livestock. One sheep in Lincolnshire has been infected. And

:02:02. > :02:05.with hundreds of spring calves due to be born over the coming weeks,

:02:05. > :02:15.it's a tense time for many cattle farmers. Linsey Smith's report

:02:15. > :02:15.

:02:15. > :02:23.contains a picture of a dead lamb. I just got back and had a look

:02:23. > :02:25.round to and a cow has second had a set of twins while I was away.

:02:25. > :02:28.Fantastic. Michael Read's family have been

:02:28. > :02:32.breeding pedigree Lincoln Reds for over 70 years. Over the next few

:02:32. > :02:34.weeks, many of these cows will give birth to young worth up to �1,200

:02:34. > :02:41.each. Meaning Schmallenberg could be an expensive problem for cattle

:02:41. > :02:47.farmers. Touch wood, we have not had an infection so far. It is at

:02:47. > :02:56.the back of your mind that there is this disease. Cattle are about 10

:02:56. > :03:00.times more valuable than sheep. It is obviously very serious for the

:03:00. > :03:02.sheep for work as well. So far, there have been 176 cases

:03:02. > :03:08.of Schmallenberg confirmed across England. 164 in sheep, one of which

:03:08. > :03:11.is in Lincolnshire. Only 12 cases have been found in cattle. But with

:03:11. > :03:21.spring calving underway, hundreds of cows are due to give birth

:03:21. > :03:22.

:03:22. > :03:29.imminently. I do not think this is a Schmallenberg Virus stop Nick

:03:29. > :03:32.Timson is a vet from Louth. He has been asked to examine a dead lamb,

:03:32. > :03:36.which it turns out does not have the disease. The National Farmers

:03:36. > :03:38.Union say farmers and vets are the eyes and ears of the industry. It's

:03:38. > :03:45.crucial any suspected cases are reported to help track

:03:45. > :03:53.Schmallenberg. There are key signs a farmer can look out for. The calf

:03:53. > :03:59.is Bournemouth sometimes with a twisted neck or bent legs -- is a

:03:59. > :04:01.born sometimes with a twisted neck or bent legs.

:04:02. > :04:04.Scientists in Surrey are still testing midges to better understand

:04:04. > :04:07.this disease. Until a vaccine is developed, there is nothing farmers

:04:07. > :04:14.can do to protect themselves. For many, that vaccine can't be

:04:14. > :04:17.developed soon enough. Linsey Smith BBC Look North.

:04:17. > :04:19.Organisers behind this year's Hull marathon say it was such a success,

:04:19. > :04:22.they have already pencilled in another event on Easter Sunday next

:04:22. > :04:26.year. Around 1,400 runners took part yesterday, helping raise

:04:26. > :04:31.thousands of pounds for charity. Those behind the race say they're

:04:31. > :04:33.hoping to at least double the number of entries for 2013.

:04:33. > :04:40.David Hockney's exhibition of paintings featuring East Yorkshire

:04:40. > :04:43.at the Royal Academy of Arts ends today. Around half a million people

:04:43. > :04:46.have been to see the exhibition by the Bridlington-based artist, which

:04:46. > :04:52.includes many scenes from the Wolds. It's hoped the show will help to

:04:52. > :04:59.put East Yorkshire on the tourist map.

:04:59. > :05:07.I think it is very good for people to be reminded of her beautiful --

:05:07. > :05:15.of how beautiful East Yorkshire is. It is not a conventional tourist

:05:15. > :05:22.area. I hope now that people will discover the pleasures of rural

:05:22. > :05:25.landscapes. It has been a busy Easter Monday

:05:25. > :05:28.afternoon of sport. In football, Hull City managed their second win

:05:28. > :05:32.in 13 games. Middlesbrough took the lead in the first half, but City

:05:32. > :05:35.pulled it back early in the second thanks to this from Josh King. Then

:05:35. > :05:38.in the 87th minute, Matty Fryatt scored the 100th league goal of his

:05:38. > :05:41.career, to give the Tigers the 2-1 win. City remain four points off

:05:41. > :05:46.the play off places. It ended goalless between Carlisle

:05:46. > :05:49.United and Scunthorpe United. It means the Iron are now eight points

:05:49. > :05:53.clear of the relegation zone. And a good afternoon for our Conference

:05:53. > :05:55.teams. Grimsby Town beat Gateshead 2-0, while Lincoln City got five

:06:14. > :06:17.Better news for Hull KR though, beating Salford 18-10. And you can

:06:26. > :06:29.And finally, a full size replica of a supersonic car has been on

:06:29. > :06:31.display at the University of Lincoln today. The Bloodhound will

:06:32. > :06:37.attempt to break the world land speed record next year by

:06:37. > :06:44.travelling at 1,000 an hour. It was in the city as part of a special

:06:44. > :06:49.event aimed at encouraging more children into engineering.

:06:49. > :06:53.We wanted to put together some kind of event to inspire young children

:06:53. > :07:00.into engineering and science. That is what the real event is. Between

:07:00. > :07:05.us, we thought how can we do it? What better way than to bring a

:07:05. > :07:14.replica of a car that is going to attempt to break the world land

:07:14. > :07:24.Good evening. Quite a cloudy end to the day with a showery outbreaks of
