Three of the victims died at the scene, while two were taken to the nearby Diana Princess of Wales Hospital but died later.
Three ambulances and an air ambulance had rushed to the spot in Laceby, which was then closed until late on Friday night.

The driver of the lorry - a light goods vehicle- is thought to have sustained minor injuries.
The Grimsby stretch of the A18 featured in a BBC television programme, Britain's Most Dangerous Roads, in 2011.

Operations Superintendent Tracy Bradley, of Humberside Police, said: "Our deepest thoughts go out to the family and friends of those who were tragically killed in this collision which happened on the A18.
"We are working closely with relatives of those who lost their lives and are supporting them through what will be a very difficult time.
"Roads policing officers are working closely with our collision investigation team to piece together the evidence we have gathered in order to try and determine what led to this tragic incident taking place and took the lives of those travelling in the Nissan at the time.
"We have spoken to a number of key witnesses already, however, if anyone saw the incident but has not come forward I would ask them to do so."
Anyone with information should call Humberside Police on 101.
Relatives of the victims are being supported by family liaison officers and have asked to be left alone to come to terms with their loss.
Chris Baron, Resort Director at Butlin's Skegness, said: "We are all shocked and stunned by this tragedy and our thoughts go out to the extended families of the victims.
"Our team at Skegness is offering support and assistance to the other competitors and their families. We are working closely with the dance competition organisers."
