Police cordon lifted after crash on busy Sheffield road

Halifax Road was closed by South Yorkshire Police earlier after a pedestrian was seriously injured in a collision with a car.

The man, in his 30s, was struck by a black Audi A3, close to the turn for Sainsbury's, Hillsborough, at 6.10am.

He was rushed to hospital with 'potentially life threatening injuries' and is reported to have undergone surgery.

The windscreen of the car involved in the collision was shattered during the incident.
