MP 'saddened' after Doncaster horror crash which killed two and injured four

A Doncaster MP say she is “saddened” over an ‘awful’ crash which claimed the lives of two people after a car ploughed into a group of pedestrians on a major Doncaster road.

A huge police investigation is now under way following the collision on White Rose Way on Sunday, with a 30-year-old man arrested over the incident, which saw four other people seriously injured.

Paying tribute, Doncaster Central Labour MP Sally Jameson said: “I am saddened to hear of the tragic car accident that occurred on White Rose Way on Sunday morning.

“My condolences to the family and friends of the two people who were killed.

“I wish the four other people injured in the accident a speedy recovery from such an awful incident.

“Anyone who witnessed the crash or who has dashcam footage is asked to contact South Yorkshire Police.”

The road was closed for more than 12 hours and emergency services - including the air ambulance - were called to the scene.

Earlier today, police confirmed that two pedestrians were killed when a car hit a group of people before colliding with two other cars.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are appealing for any witnesses, and anyone who may have dashcam footage, following a fatal road traffic collision in Doncaster over the weekend.

“Around 11am on Sunday (13 September), we were called to reports of a multiple vehicle collision on White Rose Way, between Carriage Drive and Middle Bank Roundabout.

“It is reported that a black Mitsubishi L200 was travelling down the carriageway, before it collided with a group of four pedestrians.

“It is further reported that the Mitsubishi then collided with a black Audi and a silver BMW which were travelling on the opposite side of the carriageway.

“Our officers alongside the ambulance and air ambulance services attended.

“Despite best efforts of medical professionals, two pedestrians were sadly pronounced dead at the scene. We are currently working to identify and inform their next of kin.

“Four other people were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

“A 30-year-old man, the driver of the Mitsubishi, was arrested on suspicion of two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and driving while unfit.

“He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.

“An investigation has been launched and officers are now asking for anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who was nearby and may have dashcam footage to please come forward.

“You can share any information by either calling 101, or through our online reporting system. Please quote incident number 345 of 13 September 2026 when you get in touch.”

The air ambulance landed on the carriageway, with the road remanining closed until nearly midnight on Sunday, with drivers urged to avoid the area.
