A SHEFFIELD woman has died and three other people, including a toddler, have been left seriously injured after a road smash over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The 43-year-old woman was killed after the Citroen AX she was travelling in was involved in a collision with a motorbike in north Lincolnshire.
She was travelling with her 47-year-old husband, who was driving, and they were carrying friend Anita A
bbott, aged 29 and her two and a half year old daughter, Jasmine.
They were travelling to Scunthorpe to buy a puppy for the little girl.
The head-on smash happened on the A161, north of the M180, just before 3pm on Saturday and involved a Suzuki GSX 750 ridden by a 47-year-old Scunthorpe man.
Police have not yet named the dead woman. Her husband escaped relatively lightly, with a broken finger but Sheffield woman Anita, who was in the back of the car, suffered a fractured pelvis, dislocated leg and internal injuries. She was treated at Scunthorpe General Hospital before being transferred to intensive care at the Northern General, where she is stable. Jasmine suffered multiple injuries including fractures to her skull and was transferred from hospital in Scunthorpe to the Children's Hospital, where she is very poorly.
The motorcyclist suffered multiple internal injuries and a fractured sternum and was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary, where he is seriously ill but stable.
Police are investigating circumstances surrounding the smash.
