An eyewitness said he had seen a man being hit by another vehicle after getting out of a car.

Motorists have reported serious delays on the route out of the city, with one saying traffic had been stationary for over 10 minutes and was backed up to Park Square roundabout on the edge of Sheffield city centre.

The incident is believed to be near the exit for Sheffield Wholesale Market.
