Burngreave murder: Romance row rumours swirl after car hits crowd in Sheffield suburb

A large police cordon remains in place on a residential road in Sheffield almost 24 hours after a man died when a car hit a crowd of people.

Officers were continuing to stand guard on Scott Road today after the incident on College Close, Burngreave, on Wednesday afternoon. 

Locals say it was triggered by a row over an arranged marriage but police have not confirmed any of the background to the shocking incident.

Meanwhile a murder investigation is underway and two men remain in custody.

Several police vehicles were seen coming and going this morning and at one point a crime scene investigation van departed with blue lights flashing. 

Emergency services were called to College Close at 2.06pm on Wednesday following reports of violence and disorder.

A 46-year-old man died at the scene and several others were injured, with one casualty said to have been in a serious condition in hospital last night.

A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and another man, aged 55, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
