The Sheffield men, named only as Tyrone and Codeye, died when the car they were travelling in left the northbound M1 between Junction 31 for Sheffield and 30 for Barlborough, on Sunday night.

The white Volkswagen Golf hit a barrier and trees before coming to rest on its roof.

Tyrone and Codeye were pronounced dead at the scene.
