At 11.47pm on Tuesday, officers were called to reports of a road traffic collision involving a grey Kia Sorento and a black Range Rover.
It is reported that the Kia Sorento was travelling down Doncaster Road towards Barnsley town centre, when it collided with the Range Rover and crashed into a residential garden near St Joseph’s Gardens.
