Arrests made after woman killed by car at Sheffield bus stop.

Tragedy outside primary school in Sheffield

On Monday 4th October, tragedy struck outside a primary school in Sheffield, as a mother of two unfortunately died after being involved in an incident including two cars.

Two 21-year-old men have been arrested following the incident, as police carry on investigating.

The incident, which occurred on Phillimore Road in Sheffield, was reported to have been caused by two vehicles colliding, causing one to mount the curb, hitting the woman.

A nurse who witnessed the crash said she had been left in "total shock".

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she had gone to help the victim but quickly realised "there wasn't anything we could do".

"There was very little that we could do other than hold her hand and that was it," she said.

"We want her family to know that she was with people at the end."

One resident who came out to help after the accident said: “I heard a loud bang and came out to see what had happened. It was horrible.”

Headteacher at Phillimore Community Primary School, Gillian Briggs, said: “At the end of the school day a tragic incident occurred outside the school. We are aware that the police are investigating, and we are unable to give more information at this time.

“The school thanks the staff, parents and members of the community who responded so quickly and tried to help until the emergency services arrived.

“Our thoughts are with all those closely affected by this devastating news. In the coming days we will attempt to come to terms with this news as a school and community. There will be support available for children, families, and staff, as needed. As always, we know the Phillimore Primary School community will support each other through difficult times.”
