Three-year-old boy airlifted after Sheffield accident
According to IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson, Samantha Meyrick, paramedics arrived to find the toddler in a critical condition and the decision was made to call an AMS helicopter.
The boy was rushed to a suitable trauma facility.
The P228 is the road which runs between Salt Rock Road and the Tinley Manor link road.
In November last year, a motorbike delivery driver was killed in an accident on a similar stretch of the road as this morning's accident.

Fuel forecast brings both relief and pressure for Pretoria drivers
Fuel forecast brings both relief and pressure for Pretoria drivers Pretoria motorists are in for a mixed fuel price adjustment next week, with the latest month-end data from the Central Energy Fund pointing to both relief and strain at the pumps. While a decrease in one fuel type may offer some breathing room, a notable hike in another is set to hit drivers' pockets. The official fuel price changes will be confirmed in the coming days. The official price adjustments will be announced before the prices take effect next week; the recovery balances for the month are unlikely to change drastically. These are the recoveries at the end of July: Petrol 93: decrease of 35 cents per litre Petrol 95: decrease of 30 cents per litre Diesel 0.05% (wholesale): increase of 65 cents per litre Diesel 0.005% (wholesale): increase of 63 cents per litre Illuminating paraffin: increase of 29 cents per litre It should be emphasised that the final adjustments in fuel prices will only be announced later this week or early next week.
