A Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesperson told The Star: "An ambulance and rapid response vehicle were dispatched to single vehicle collision on Abbeydale Road, Sheffield just after midday on Tuesday. One patient was conveyed to Northern General Hospital."

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue added: “We were called today to a single car RTC (road traffic collision) at 12:11pm on Abbeydale Road. Crews from Birley Moor, Parkway and Central fire engines attended and assisted paramedics on scene. Crews left the scene at 1:39pm.”

Abbeydale Road was closed in both directions, from Woodseats Road to Edgedale Road and Bannerdale Road, with a number of bus services diverted as a result of the partial road closure.

It had re-opened by 2.16pm, a spokesperson for the bus operator, First South Yorkshire, confirmed on X, formerly known as Twitter.
