Two crashes just minutes apart close one of Doncaster's major routes

White Rose Way was closed for a period on Saturday morning near to the Lakeside Village Shopping Outlet following two separate incidents.

Police were called shortly after 10am to the first incident.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “We received reports of an overturned black Vauxhall located in the central reservation on White Rose Way at around 10.11am.

"We then received reports of a second collision at the scene, which resulted in a road closure for a short period of time. There were no serious or life-threatening injuries.”

Hours later, emergency services returned to the scene when a 42-year-old man suffered serious injuries in a vehicle explosion in a car park in nearby Herten Way.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance following the incident and remains in a critical condition.
