One eyewitness said they believed the collision appeared to involve a lorry and a Vauxhall car.

They said: “It has happened at one of the busiest junctions in Rossington. It used to be manned by a school crossing patrol.

“There are both fire engines and police cars across the road, and it looks as if it may have been a head on collision. The fire brigade have had their cutting equipment out.”

A fire service spokesman confirmed they had sent two fire crews from Doncaster Fire Station to Central Drive after receiving a call at 1.55pm, and had reports of a woman trapped in a car who they were trying to free. An ambulance had also been called to the scene.

A woman later posted on social media that she had been injured in the crash but not seriously.
