pattricia   575 #1 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) My friend lives at Lodge Moor and said that  Lodge Lane was blocked off by the police today who said there was a serious police incident today. Anyone know anything about it ? Edited September 19, 2020 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Colin Foster   70 #2 Posted September 18, 2020 I've just been past and police are still blocking it off, it's at the top about 50 yards from the Redmires road junction. Heard a lot of sirens going past at around 3 o'clock so a few hours ago now. Caught a glimpse of officers in white overalls around the crashed car, which doesn't look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

What do the white overalls mean ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Colin Foster   70 #4 Posted September 18, 2020 Well I don't know for certain it could mean nothing but would suggest it's serious if they're still examining the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Guest   #9 Posted May 12, 2021 An inquest has found that the lady in the vehicle, Rosemary Broomhead, died by suicide. The article below reports that Mrs Broomhead co-owned Broomhead’s Fish and Chips in Crookes.  Condolences to her family and friends.  https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/people/beloved-sheffield-grandmother-and-fish-and-chip-shop-owner-died-in-rivelin-car-fire-3232194 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Colin Foster   70 #11 Posted May 18, 2021 Did they really require an inquest to determine this? It was obvious what had happened, must have been torture for the family to go over it all again 8 months later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ant68   21 #12 Posted May 23, 2021 This is tragic. The couple of reports I read about it dont think its anything but suicide, which means that she was still awake when she set fire to the car? I assume (or possibly hope) that she’d somehow knocked herself out before the flames got to her.  I feel for her and her family.
