Hunt for 'hit-and-run' driver in Sheffield after four vehicles are damaged in crash

A red Toyota Yaris was written off and three other vehicles, including a van used to transport disadvantaged children, were badly damaged in the collision which happened on Wortley Road in High Green yesterday, Friday, November 7, at around 5pm.

Paul Thorpe, whose personal van and work van were damaged in the crash, just outside his home, said one witness had seen two men who appeared to be drunk or on drugs run off after the collision.

He said the men, who were in a blue Seat Leon, appeared to be in their late 20s or early 30s and one is white and was wearing a blue jacket, while the other is black and was wearing a puffer jacket.

"They’ve hit my neighbour’s car with such force the wheel’s been left embedded in the wall outside my house,” he said.

“It’s amazing no one was killed or seriously injured. There was a lad parked up in a white Transit which was hit, and there are usually lots of schoolchildren and parents with prams walking along the street at that time.

"The lady at the care home said she’d spoken to them before they ran off and they appeared to be intoxicated or on drugs.

"We need to find out who these people are because they could have killed somebody.”

One of the vehicles damaged was Mr Thorpe’s Thurgoland Travel work van, in which he transports disadvantaged children.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.
