“The driver, a woman, was taken to hospital as a precaution.”

Residents say they are concerned about what is yet another crash in the former mining village.

Coun Rachael Blake said: “We feel speeding has been an issue in Rossington and it is worrying that we have seen so many crashes in recent weeks.”

Police recently ran speeding checks near the scene earlier in the year when officers carried out tests on West End Lane in Rossington after residents had complained about speeding.

It is the main road through the village, and runs all the way from the new Great Yorkshire Way link road near junction three of the M18, before it becomes Sheep Bridge Lane.

Police said at the time they have received several complaints about speeding vehicles in a variety of areas across the Rossington ward, and sent community support officers to look into the speed of cars travelling along a section of road on August 22. The road at that point is a 30mph zone.

Officers found out of 226 vehicles’ 11 were speeding between 35mph and 44mph.
