Yesterday (12 June), at 4.49pm, we were called to reports of a road traffic collision at High Street, at the junction with Station Road in Mosborough in Sheffield.

It is understood that a white Ford Transit van was involved in a collision with a pedestrian.

Emergency services attended and an 11-year-old girl was taken to hospital. Sadly, despite the best efforts of medical staff, the girl died a short time later.

Our thoughts are with the girl’s loved ones at this terribly difficult time. Her family is being supported by specially trained officers.

As we work to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the girl’s death, officers arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and traffic offences. He is co-operating with officers and has been released on police bail at this time.

If you witnessed the collision and have not yet spoken to officers, please get in touch online, via live chat or by calling 101, quoting incident number 758 of 12 June 2025.

If you have footage which could help our investigation, please share it here.
