Officers were called at around 9.15pm on Thursday (December 12) following reports of a collision on Colley Avenue in the Ecclesfield area.

Residents reported hearing an ‘almighty crash’ as a black Audi A3 travelling to the scene from the direction of Wheata Road crashed into four parked cars, causing damage.

A video reportedly shows residents gathering round to confront the driver and passenger, who both fled the scene.

A second passenger, who remained in the vehicle, received treatment for a head injury.

Investigating officer on the case, PC Tom Casserly, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "I'd like to assure the community that investigations are ongoing into this incident, which has of course caused some concern and inconvenience to those affected or who live nearby.

“We have reason to believe alcohol may have played a part in this incident, and it’s therefore yet another reminder of the dangers of drink driving.
