A road was closed off this morning after residents were warned last night to close their windows after a car crash damaged a gas main.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service issued the advice late last night after a gas leak was found near the junction of Stumperlowe Lane and Stumperlowe Hall Road, in Fulwood.
Pictures show the road closure sign in place this morning.

“This is following a road traffic collision where a car has hit and ruptured a gas main. One fire crew is in attendance.If you smell gas, contact Cadent on 0800 111 999.”
