PART OF THE NAVIGATION of the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation is closed at present.
This has been closed as a car has been driven into the waterway, Keith Gudgin reports.
It is now closed between Kilnhurst Flood Lock and Swinton Lock.
No passage
This occurred late last night, Wednesday 26th November, and there is no passage past the vehicle as at present it is blocking the whole waterway.
Police have been on site today, Thursday, but there is no intimation when the car will be removed and the navigation reopened.
It is not told at present how many people were in the car when it entered the canal or if or how they escaped.
