The families of the deceased have been informed.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said officers were confronted by a scene of "complete carnage" when they arrived at the crash site on Stonegate Road.
He said that just one vehicle had been involved but it was not yet clear whether the five victims and two suspects had all been in the car.
“Whether they were all in the car or whether some of [the victims] were pedestrians we can’t say at this point in time.
“We’ve got the road closed, an investigation in place and we’re trying to find out what’s occurred.” - Guardian News and Media/PA
