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.
Did you see or hear the police helicopter SY99 flying over Crosspool this afternoon?
South Yorkshire Police Air Operations confirmed that around 1:40pm this afternoon it was searching for an offender following a burglary. A stolen car was left on a driveway. Enquiries are ongoing.
Last year it was announced that the South Yorkshire Police helicopter would be replaced with one shared by regional forces. However later this week the South Yorkshire Police Authority will consider plans that would mean SY99 would be retained and used during peak times.
You may have noticed an increased police presence in the area this week, including a helicopter circling overhead.
We’ve looked into this and it turns out that the helicopter was deployed to complement a ground force operation to apprehend those responsible for break-ins and attempted break-ins to the huts at Hallamshire Golf Club. They also investigated a number of reported barbeques on the rocks adjacent to Sandygate Grove.
Around the same time, an accident occurred at the Blackbrook Road junction with Redmires Road.
