Floral tributes have been left on a road in Sheffield after a fatal collision involving an ambulance.

The flowers have been left on the pavement on Myrtle Road after a collision on the street shortly after 6.30pm on Wednesday (September 9).

A 26-year-old pedestrian was injured in the collision with an East Midlands ambulance, and while medical staff worked to resuscitate him, the man tragically died at the scene.

Police have said that the driver of the ambulance remained at the scene to assist officers with their enquiries.

Meanwhile, the ambulance team in Derbyshire have said that they are fully co-operating with South Yorkshire Police investigations into the incident.

Craig Whyles, East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust Divisional Director for Derbyshire, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died, and with everyone affected by this tragic incident.

“Support is available for our colleagues, and we are co-operating fully with the police investigation.

“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage while enquiries are ongoing.”
