"A woman has been taken to hospital in a life threatening condition. Donetsk Way is currently closed at the junction between Rylstone Grove and Stoneacre Avenue while emergency services remain at the scene."

The incident has also caused major disruption to traffic, and to the trams.

Supertram bosses earlier said that the crash, which does not involve a tram, happened near Donetsk Way.

This has meant they have had to close a section of the line between Birley Lane and Donetsk Way.

Stagecoach who run the trams, said in a statement: "Due to a non Tram RTC (road traffic collision) near Donetsk Way, the Blue route is running Birley Lane to Malin Bridge only.

"A single tram is running a shuttle service between Donetsk Way and Halfway until this is resolved."
