British dad died alongside son and daughter after 'falling asleep at wheel' in France
It is understood John Crompton, 31, lost his life trapped
in the wreckage, and son Morgan, nine, and four-year-old daughter Evie-Lily
died instantly as they were thrown from the car.
Mr Crompton died of a cardiac arrest as he lay terribly
injured, according to reports in France.
His partner, Makayla Lund, 25, was said to have been
pulled from the wreckage with only minor injuries.
However their two-year-old son Kyle child was flown to
hospital and was described as being in a critical condition.
The crash happened after 7am on Sunday on the A39 in
Beaurepaire-en-Bresse between Lyon and Dijon.
It is reported that Mr Crompton had homes in Italy and
Hartlepool.
The family were thought to be on holiday as they headed
south on the A39 motorway towards Bourg-en-Bresse.
On Sunday Colin Harrison posted on a Facbeook group
called Hartlepool Billiards and Snooker of which Mr Crompton is a member.
He said: "Heartbreaking news about one of the
leagues top players.
"John Crompton and two of his children were
tragically killed in a road accident in France.
"Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and
friends. very talented and well liked man. RIP mate".
Two air ambulances were called to the scene and the
injured child was flown to hospital in Lyon.
In an interview with the France3 TV channel, a member of
the emergency services said two of the children were dead when they arrived and
the father was trapped.
Mr Crompton was said to have died from a heart attack
minutes after he was released from the wreckage.
Pictures showed a badly mangled family Nissan which was
ripped apart after initially hitting a safety barrier.
An investigator told the TV channel the reason for the
car hitting the barrier was as yet unknown, but it could have been caused by
the driver falling asleep or being distracted.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are providing
assistance following a road traffic accident in France, in which three British
nationals have sadly died and two others have been hospitalised.
"We are working closely with local authorities and
supporting the families at this difficult time."

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
