    A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after an accident in Sheffield earlier today when she was taken ill at the wheel.

    South Yorkshire Police said this morning's crash on Sheffield Parkway - which closed the main route into Sheffield from the M1 - was caused after a driver had a "medical episode" at the wheel.

    Parkway crash

    A 32-year-old woman driving a Toyota Yaris was taken to hospital where her condition is described as critical.

    The accident happened at 08:20 this morning and involved three other cars, the woman's car ended up in the central reservation and she is not thought to have been injured by the actual crash.

    South Yorkshire Police are asking for any witnesses to the crash to come forward by phoning them on 101.

    Two women, aged 56 and 66, have been charged with wilfully obstructing the highway and will appear at York Magistrates Court in November.

    North Yorkshire Police say a total of 20 people have been arrested at the site so far this month, as Third Energy was granted permission to frack at the site in 2016.

    Yesterday protesters locked their arms into barrels made of concrete and metal while police officers are used power tools to cut them free.

  13. Watch: Tim Peake on life as an astronautpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 26 September 2017

    It's not everyday you get the chance to meet an astronaut, but the first-ever person from the UK to perform a spacewalk has been in Bradford today.

    Major Tim Peake has been at the Science and Media Museum with the Soyuz pod in which he travelled back to earth - which is going on display as an exhibit.

    It's the first stop on a national tour and visitors can get a taste of space flight with special VR goggles. I managed to grab a few words with him.

    Read more about Tim Peake.

    Michael Foale, who was born in Louth, Lincolnshire, became the first Briton to make a spacewalk on 9 February 1995, during a US space shuttle mission.

    Born to a British father and American mother, Mr Foale has dual British and US citizenship.

    He was selected under Nasa's astronaut programme and therefore "flew" as an American.
