A couple from north London died after a car collided with them as they walked "arm in arm" along a road in Dorset.

Alan Bernard, 53, and wife Rochelle, 51, members of Northwood United Synagogue, were declared dead at the scene after a silver Mercedes crashed at 10.35pm on Banks Road in Sandbanks, near Poole, on Saturday.

The pair, who ran Plus Rooms, a building business, had been at their holiday home in Sandbanks with their daughter, Natasha, 17.

Their two sons, 24-year-old Robbie, a law graduate, and 27-year-old James, who works in the family business, were in London when the accident happened.
