The motorist, in his 50s, suffered a medical episode while driving through Burngreave at around 6am on Tuesday, March 30.
His silver Vauxhall Astra had been travelling along Minna Road when it crashed into a bollard and a brick wall, close to the junction with Burngreave Road.
The vehicle then struck traffic lights at the pedestrian crossing outside the Premier Convenience Store, close to Burngreave Street.
He has since died.
