Five people have been injured following a road traffic collision at Whittington Moor in Chesterfield last night (05 August).

Emergency services were called to reports that a car had crashed into a building opposite the Technique Stadium on Sheffield Road just before 8.30pm.

Five people are reported to have suffered injuries, including the driver of the vehicle. One person has been taken to hospital in a serious condition.

Enquiries are being carried out and although it is early in the investigation, officers do not believe the collision was a deliberate act.

Officers are supporting those injured, and their families, at this time.

Police would like to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have dashcam footage which could help with our enquiries.

Anyone with information should contact them, quoting reference 971 of 5 August.
