    BBC Radio Sheffield

    Police are appealing for witnesses following a reported collision on the A1 southbound near Doncaster last week.

    The crash is believed to have happened at about 18:55 on Friday when a white HGV and a green Citroen Picasso were in collision on the A1 southbound at Robin Hood’s Well.

    The occupants of the Picasso suffered minor injuries. Initial inquiries suggest a dark-coloured Ford Fiesta or Focus may have been in the area before the collision and police say they're keen to speak to the owners of that vehicle.
