A Police Spokesperson:

"We are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision within the grounds of Northern General Hospital on Herries Road Drive, Sheffield.

"We were called to Herries Road Drive at 12.30pm today (Wednesday, 23 October) following reports a Silver Toyota RAV4 had been in collision with a stationary black Seat Leon, which in turn hit a stationary black Peugeot 3008.

"It is understood the driver of the Toyota, a 62-year-old man, was removed from the vehicle by witnesses who administered first aid at the scene. He was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

"We are now appealing for witnesses to get in touch with us. Officers are particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw the Toyota being driven before the collision or witnessed the collision itself.

"It is understood the Toyota began its journey on Central Way within the hospital grounds before turning left onto Fox Way and continuing onto Herries Road Drive. The collision is understood to have happened outside the Children's Outpatients Department.

"We are urging anyone with dash cam footage which corroborates this reported route, or captured the collision itself, to get in touch with us.

"We would also like to speak to anyone who had any involvement and is yet to speak to officers."
