A woman has died following a collision in the Brierley area of Barnsley
yesterday afternoon (Friday 14 September).

At around 1.40pm, a HGV, previously reported as stolen, was travelling along
Common Lane, towards Grimethorpe, when an officer in a marked patrol car,
travelling in the opposite direction, turned around to follow the vehicle.

The HGV then travelled on to Park View, where it was in collision with a
pedestrian, a woman in her 50s. The vehicle then hit two parked cars before
colliding with a house on the road and coming to a stop.

The woman was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. While formal
identification has not yet taken place, her family have been informed and
are being supported by specialist officers.

Four men have been arrested in connection with the incident and remain in
police custody at this time. The man driving the vehicle suffered minor
injuries.

A mandatory referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police
Conduct (IOPC).

Police remain in the area, as enquiries are carried out and Park View is
expected to remain closed for the evening.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 455 of
14 September 2018.
