Emmerdale- what happened to John Barton?

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

I've got Mon-Fri on catch up. But John B is dead and Moira's covered in scratches.
What happened?

Car crash. On their way to a hotel that kids booked for them. I'm just catching up too and have just watched crash episode.

The only decent looking bloke in it and they had to kill him off - grrrr
