A British couple have been killed in a quadbiking accident while on their honeymoon in the Maldives, police on the holiday island said.

Jonathan and Emma Gray from Halifax, west Yorkshire, were found injured yesterday on a roadside at the Kuredu Island Resort and Spa where they were staying.

Mr Gray is in his twenties and his new wife is 25.

A third person was also injured in the crash and is in hospital.

Maldives Police Service said officers are investigating what happened to the honeymooners.

A manager at Kuredu refused to comment while the police investigation was ongoing.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the deaths of two British Nationals in Kuredu Island Resort and Spa, Maldives, on August 6 2011.

"Our thoughts are with the families at this sad time.

"We are providing consular assistance and liaising with both the police and the local authorities."
