Commercial Street police incident: Video shows scene after bus collides with scooter on busy Sheffield street

Police had sealed off Commercial Street on both sides of the road heading into town from Park Hill roundabout, with the area sealed off stretching from Castle Square.

The man’s injuries are unknown, but police say the man on the scooter has been taken to hospital following the collision.

A double decker Stagecoach bus was still in position, with an electric scooter lying in the road in front of it, with the area sealed off by blue and white police tape. Police traffic officers were on the scene.

A police van was parked at the Park Square end of the cordon, with a single police car parked at the top end of the road. A plastic barrier had also been put in place, on the corner near Castle Square.

Trams appeared to still be running past the scene.
