The Sheffield roundabout named one of the worst in Britain for crashes, scrapes and bumps

From one-way systems and ever-changing roadworks, driving around the Steel City can often be quite daunting.

But it turns out there is one part of Sheffield which is officially the most dangerous to navigate.

New data has revealed the worst roundabouts in the country, based on the number of accidents and casualties in the year July 2017-18.

And Sheffield’s own Brook Hill roundabout made it into the top 20 with a total of 10 accidents in that time.

The roundabout leaves many people scratching their heads as they try and navigate the lanes while making sense of the road signs.

In February this year, a one-vehicle crash on the roundabout caused major delays for motorists.

In December, a police van and a red Fiat Dobly crashed on the busy roundabout with no reported injuries.

The Department for Transport records were filtered so that only accidents taking place near roundabouts were shown - and any records without a map reference were excluded.

The accidents were then clustered into areas, so that crashes on different sides of a roundabout were grouped together.
