Second crash on stretch of major Sheffield road within space of 10 days

An eyewitness reported that a vehicle had crashed into a skip on Loxley Road last night.

Police confirmed this was a ‘non-injury road traffic collision’ but did not release any further details.

This comes just 10 days since a driver is believed to have smashed their vehicle into three parked cars before leaving the scene on the same stretch of the road on Monday, January 16, shortly after 8pm.

Speaking about the older incident, a spokesperson for the force said: “Officers attended and it is believed a black Vauxhall Vectra collided with three parked cars. The driver of the vehicle left the scene before officers arrival.
