Car overturns in bid to avoid collision

Police are urging witnesses to come forward following the incident which occurred near to Lidget Lane’s junction with Gaunt Road, Bramley, at midday on Wednesday.

A police spokeswoman said: “It is reported that a blue Ford Focus driven by a 22-year-old man was travelling along Lidget Lane, Bramley, towards Ravenfield.

“Near the junction with Gaunt Road, it is alleged that a red car was travelling in the opposite direction towards the Focus, partially across the central white lines.
