Anyone know what happened on Broughton/Shepcote Lane this evening. Road closed for at least 2 hrs and up to 5 police cars in attendance???

A guy was hit by a vehicle outside the Noose & Gibbet.

My daughter got caught in the aftermath on her way home from work, she finished work in Meadowhall at 9pm and when she was stuck on Broughton Lane there wasn’t any emergency service’s in attendance.

I came out of the arena after seeing The Prodigy at around 10.45pm and everything was closed. Loads of police cars, paramedics, ambulance.

The police had taped the whole area off so all the arena crowds had to walk up the road before being allowed to cross to Centertainment.

Whatever happened looked pretty serious.

So has the pedestrian now passed away?

It doesn't say that in the police report.

It appears so going off the comments on the SYP facebook page.

 

Sad news indeed. Thoughts are with all family and friends.

I knew the young lad who unfortunately died following this incident, he was an apprentice at the engineering company I work for. He was a quiet,well mannered and confident young man

well liked by his colleagues.

When we heard of his passing on monday morning the whole workforce gathered to hold a minute's silence for him.
