dutch   68 #3 Posted April 24, 2019 Checked few places online. It happened on spital hill between saville and spital st. Road closed for all traffic and pedestrians. Police put up screens to cover the scene. Many buses in Sheffield disturbed and diverted up there. Heard from someone it was pretty serious. Most cars, buses don't travel too fast up there usually but then again anything is possible.

The silver car that ploughed into the others at speed was an Uber. Really nasty accident, appalling driving. I hope no-one is seriously hurt but I suspect that is wishful thinking.

Did that driver have a heart attack while pushing the accelerator or something? Edited April 25, 2019 by dutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That could be very true that some people can be as stupid as to be the contributing cause of driving into someone's back while speeding without braking or diverting the direction of the vehicle at all. There are however several medical issues that could even make a young person lose its consciousness and control of body and vehicle. Edited April 25, 2019 by dutch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ Â Â 1,993 #11 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I'll probably get slated for this, but from my observations PH cars in this area seem to have the idea that the law doesn't apply to them - I've seen them U-turn in heavy traffic even when there are options to turn safely close by, park on double yellows just because they 'want a rest', and cut up other traffic, &c. Â My sympathies to anyone injured. Edited April 25, 2019 by RollingJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dutch   68 #12 Posted April 25, 2019 I don't go there often but also think its a miracle that bit of road keeps running usually without accidents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
