Police have closed Havelock Bridge on Myrtle Road in Heeley, Sheffield, this evening (9 September) following a reported road traffic collision. Officers cordoned off the area, with a heavy police presence and multiple marked vehicles directing traffic away, disrupting local routes during the closure.

South Yorkshire Police confirmed that Myrtle Road and Queens Road are closed and urged drivers to avoid the area and find alternative routes. Unverified witness comments on social media suggested a car had collided with the wall of a nearby Halfords store, but this has not been confirmed by police, who have been approached for further comment. This remains a developing situation with limited official detail so far.
