A consultant physician working in emergency medicine was held responsible for a road traffic collision that caused significant trauma to two young passengers near Rotherham General Hospital. Dr. Saad Khan's vehicle pulled unexpectedly onto a major thoroughfare, forcing another driver to swerve and ultimately collide with a car carrying a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old. The younger child sustained multiple bone fractures requiring surgical fixation, whilst the older child suffered a ruptured internal organ necessitating emergency abdominal surgery at a specialist children's hospital.

The crash occurred after Khan departed his shift but returned to collect personal items he had left behind. Whilst attempting to reverse direction at the hospital entrance, he failed to properly observe traffic priority rules and drove onto the main road without ensuring it was clear of oncoming vehicles. Khan subsequently faced criminal charges in court proceedings for his role in the collision, with judicial acknowledgement of the serious consequences of his actions and their impact on his professional standing.
