Police and emergency services have had to deal with a number of road traffic collisions across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the region involving the deaths of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in 2022.
A mother tragically died after she crossed a road in Sheffield; a much loved cyclist lost his life after he was involved in a collision with a car; and two people died after an horrific car crash on a South Yorkshire country lane.
As investigations continue into the causes of these tragic collisions, heartbroken relatives and friends have paid tribute to those lost with floral tributes and even a ghost bike which was placed at one crash scene.
At the sight of one collision, floral tributes have been left near the spot where a woman was fatally injured in a collision on a major Sheffield road, and a convoy of car enthusiasts arranged to follow the cortege at the funeral of a young Sheffield man who tragically died after being hit by a car at a Scunthorpe car meet.
