On the 22nd June, a tram running on the Sheffield Supertram network was involved in a collision incident with two pedestrians around 16:14.
The incident occurred at Staniforth Road crossing, where the tram was travelling around 15 mph, resulting in the two people being injured.
The pedestrians were moving eastwards across the crossing, which is protected by road traffic lights and signals, with signs informing people to check both ways.
An investigation into the series of events which led up to the collision has now been opened.
They will be looking at the actions of those involved and their influences, the audibility of warnings to crossing users and the tram driver’s assessment of the situation.
They will be investigating the crossing as a whole to see if necessary steps were taken to make it safe, as well as investigating any underlying factors.
The findings will be published in due course, along with recommendations to improve the sight.
