Officials at the bus operator Stagecoach said they had to put diversions in place earlier this afternoon after what they have described as a road traffic collision, and a police incident, at Whiston Crossroads.

The operator said: “Following the earlier RTC at Whiston Crossroads, All Service 19/19a will be diverting via Broom Lane, Spinneyfields and Moorgate Road. Stops on East Bawtry Road and Whiston Crossroads Will NOT Be Served.”

Police say the road had now re-opened and said the incident resulted in only minor injuries.
