A 30-year-old man has died after his car smashed into a lamp-post in a horror early morning crash which closed a major Doncaster road intersection.

Police are now appealing for information, witnesses and footage following the single vehicle road traffic collision in the Blaxton area of Doncaster shortly before 2am.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We were called at 1.47am earlier today (Tuesday 14 April) following a report of a silver Kia Sportage colliding with a lamppost at Blaxton roundabout on Mosham Road.

“A 30-year-old man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family has been informed and is being supported by our officers.

“Blaxton roundabout and surrounding roads were closed as officers carried out further enquiries but all roads have now been reopened.

“As part of our investigation, we would encourage anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone with relevant information or footage, including dashcam, CCTV or doorbell, to please get in contact with us.”

Drone footage from the scene, taken earlier by local drone enthusiast Chris Brown, showed a huge number of police vehicles at the scene, with the road being closed for most of this morning following the tragedy.

Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting incident number 58 of 14 April 2026 or report information online.
