Bus services run by First South Yorkshire were redirected following the incident.

Service 20 used Firs Hill Crescent, and both the 20 and 83 services were diverted via Shirecliffe Road, resuming their normal route on Moonshine Lane.

The incident occurred close to the Devonshire Arms pub and caused a backlog of congestion after the road was closed in both directions.
