“A number of motorists heard the siren and stopped to allow the ambulance to proceed.

“As it pulled into the centre of the junction to cross the road, the driver of a Nissan Micra, travelling from Kiveton Road to cross the junction onto Todwick Road, failed to see the ambulance in mid junction and the collision occurred.

“The drivers of both vehicles sustained minor injuries.”

South Yorkshire Police officers are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision to contact the force by calling the non-emergency number of 101.
