The tragic car crash involved a Vauxhall Vivaro van travelling northbound when it was in a head-on fireball collision with a Toyota Auris.
The incident took place on February 12 at about 4.55pm on the A1620 Ring Road between Calverley and Rodley.
As a result, a four-month-baby boy was left fighting for his life.
He was then rushed to the hospital where he tragically passed away on Wednesday.
Two women from the Toyota and a man from the Vivaro were also taken to hospital for treatment.
Highway workers had to fully close the road around the area while emergency services managed the collision.
A 54-year-old male who was driving the Vivaro was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He was released on bail yesterday as the investigation continues.
Cops are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
West Yorkshire Police said: “Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has footage that will assist this investigation is asked to contact the Major Collision Enquiry Team on 101.”
