We’re appealing for witnesses, dashcam and information

following a road traffic collision that has left an elderly man fighting for

his life. 

Yesterday evening (Wednesday 16 October) we responded to

reports of a collision on Barbers Avenue, at the junction of Netherfield Lane

in Rawmarsh, Rotherham. It is understood that an 80-year-old man was crossing the road, from the direction of the park on Netherfield Lane when a black Jeep Grand Cherokee has collided with him. The man was taken to hospital by ambulance, where he remains with life-threatening injuries.  The driver of the Jeep remained on scene and is assisting officers with their enquiries. 

Did you witness the collision? Or have footage that can

assist officers with their investigation?
