Man dies after giving directions
Police are trying to identify a man who was killed in South Yorkshire after giving directions to a truck driver.
The man was walking on Blyth Road at Maltby on Tuesday when he crossed the road to talk to the driver who was travelling in the opposite direction.
As the conversation finished, the pedestrian stepped back into the carriageway and was struck by a car.
He died from multiple injuries and police are now appealing to anyone who may be able to help identify him.
South Yorkshire Police say the 22-year-old driver of the car, a red Ford Escort RS Turbo from Ranskill, near Retford, Notts, suffered cuts and was taken to Rotherham District General Hospital, but not detained.
