Police are appealing for witnesses following a collision involving a pedestrian and a black Vauxhall Astra on Selborne Road around 9:50am on Thursday.
The pedestrian, an elderly woman, was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Anyone witnessing the collision is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 236 of 2 June 2016.
Our thoughts are with the pedestrian and her family and friends.
Join us on the afternoons of Sunday 5 and Sunday 12 June at 2pm-5pm to learn how to make a beautiful willow lantern.
Materials included in £5 ticket. We will be making simple stars, globes and cone lanterns… but if you feel like being more adventurous we will be on hand to help you make your creation.

To enter the competition, take a great photo that shows ACTION and email it to us. It doesn’t need to capture movement in the photo as that is technically quite challenging but just something that suggests some action is about to happen or that there is a sense of movement.
Remember, the photo should make an impact, tell a story and follow the theme of ACTION.
Categories are open to anyone living/working/ studying in the area and are as follows:
Closing date for entries is Sunday 19 June.
Email your photo as a jpg to: crosspoolfestivalphotos@gmail.com.

There will be prizes for all the category winners.
The adult winner’s photo will also be included in this year’s Crosspool Calendar. The best three in each category will be put on the Crosspool Forum website www.crosspool.info and voting for the winners will start from Monday 20 June. The exhibition at St Columba’s will display all the entries on Wednesday 29 June from 1.30pm-4.30pm. You can also meet photographers from Sheffield Photographic Society, see their photos on display and ask them your photo questions. Maybe we can start a local photography group? The winners will be announced at St Columba’s on Wednesday 29 June at 4pm. Tea and coffee will be provided by St Columba’s.
Supermarket chain Sainsbury’s is to submit a planning application to turn The Plough pub on Sandygate Road into a convenience store.
The people running The Plough, which is opposite the oldest football ground in the world, called last orders in April.
There had been speculation over the future of the pub for many months. Regulars launched a Save the Plough Facebook campaign and it was registered as an asset of community value, with the hope that a community ownership model could be explored.
Sainsbury’s are now leasing the property from Enterprise Inns and will submit planning applications to Sheffield City Council in the coming weeks to adapt the building.
We’ll post links to them as soon as we see it on the council website.
