		</div><p>Neighbours have described an “intense sadness” after three family members died in a road collision in Cumbria.</p>
<p>The family are believed to have been out for a Father’s Day walk with their dog, which also died, on Abbey Road in Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria, when they were hit by a vehicle at about 2.30pm on Sunday.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Police said the driver of the Peugeot, a 47-year-old-man from the local area, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and three counts of causing death by dangerous driving.</p>
<p>One woman, who lived near the crash scene, told the PA news agency: “There’s an intense sadness.</p>
<p>“It’s horrific and it just feels heavy. We’re in disbelief.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“Whenever something like that happened would be awful but I think the fact it was Father’s Day just multiplied everything.”</p>
<p>Her partner, who did not want to be named, said: “After I noticed the police I went to the top of the drive and looked down.</p>
<p>“I didn’t see the driver of the car but the door to the car was open and it had hit a tree.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>“There were emergency vehicles everywhere, police and ambulances, and the fire brigade came down later.”</p>
<p>The victims, who have not yet been formally identified but are believed to have been related, were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.</p>
<p>On Monday morning, markings from police investigations could be seen on the road and pavement, damaged temporary railings were on the roadside and a mark could be seen at the base of a tree.</p>

<p>One couple left flowers on the tree in tribute to the victims.</p>
<p>Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “I was listening to the radio so I had no idea what had happened until later but I know my neighbour was celebrating their 70th birthday and heard the bang from the crash.</p>
<p>“It was a big shock.”</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>One resident said: “It is a terrible, terrible thing.”</p>
<p>A spokesman for Cumbria Police said: “The family are currently being supported by our family liaison officers.</p>
<p>“Officers are urging anyone who might have witnessed the incident or the vehicle in the area to contact T/PS 2265 Jack Stabler (Serious Collision Investigation Unit), or call 101 referencing incident 124 of June 6 2020.</p>
<p>“Officers are also keen to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage which may have captured the collision or the moments immediately before or after.”</p>
