Friends have taken to social media to pay tribute to the family.
One wrote: “My heart is absolutely shattered, I’m lost, I’m numb. It just doesn’t seem real that all four off you are gone.”
Security minister Dan Jarvis, MP for Barnsley North, also paid condolences.
He wrote on X: “Devastating news. My heartfelt condolences go to the family and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives.”
Emergency services rushed to the scene of a collision involving a Ford Focus and motorcycle on a country road close to a golf course at around 3.54pm.
But four people in the car, a man, woman and two girls, in the car were pronounced dead a short time later.
A man riding the motorcycle and female pillion passenger were also killed.
Pictures taken after the horror smash show the burnt out wreckage of the car.
Superintendent Alan Travis of Wakefield District Police said: “This is an absolutely tragic incident which has resulted in the loss of six lives.
“Our thoughts go out to the families of those who have died who we are working with to provide support at this time.”
A police statement added: “Six people, including four adults and two children, have died in a collision between Wakefield and Barnsley.
“The collision, which involved two vehicles, happened on the A61 Barnsley Road between Staincross, Barnsley, and Newmillerdam, Wakefield.
