Emergency services were scrambled to Doncaster Road in Conisbrough late last night with the air ambulance, police, paramedics and fire crews all at the scene, with four people taken to hospital following the dramatic smash.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Yesterday, Thursday 25 April just before 10pm, officers requested the driver of a silver Ford Estate to stop on Doncaster Road.

“The driver failed to stop, and a pursuit commenced through Conisborough.

"The Ford came to a stop after colliding with a silver Mazda and a black Hyundai on Castle View.

“The driver of the vehicle that failed to stop, a 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving while over the prescribed limit of alcohol and dangerous driving.

"He remains in police custody.

“A woman within the Hyundai was taken to hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. She has since been discharged.”
