Sheffield: A heartbreaking situation unfolded when an 18-year-old lost his life after a car crash during a police chase. This happened in the Hyde Park Walk area on a Monday afternoon.
According to South Yorkshire Police, officers were conducting a planned operation just before 1 PM. They noticed a black Ford Fiesta, which they believed was stolen, trying to escape as soon as they arrived.
Sadly, the car crashed into a wall after a brief pursuit. The young man was rushed to the hospital but, unfortunately, he didn’t make it. His family has been notified and is receiving support from specialized officers.
East Bank Road was closed for a while as the police investigated, but it’s open again now. They’re asking anyone who might have seen anything or has dashcam footage to come forward.
They’re especially interested in information from people around City Road, Park Grange Road, Spring Lane, and Northern Avenue. As is standard procedure, the case has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
