Homes and businesses in the Kirk Sandall and Barnby Dun areas were left without power for nearly two hours following the outage at around 8.15am.

There were unconfirmed reports of a minor collision at the junction of Brecks Lane and Doncaster Road in Kirk Sandall after traffic lights failed.

Northern Powergrid blamed the problem on cabling issues with power restored shortly after 10am.
