Police carried out proactive patrols last night in a bid to prevent more tram crashes in Sheffield

The force confirmed officers were patrolling last night, in the hope of preventing more crashes.Â

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said on Twitter: 'Tonight @SYP_Specials from @SYPOperations have spent some time proactively patrolling the @SCSupertram road crossing after a number of car vs tram collisions.'

This comes after one person was injured in November last year, after a car and a tram collidedÂ on Staniforth Road, close to Woodbourn Road tram stop, in Attercliffe.

Â The incident happened close to where one of the tram-trainsÂ hit a lorry and derailed in October.Â Read more at: https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/sheffield-tram-crash-one-person-injured-as-picture-of-mangled-car-wreck-emerges-1-9471862
