Bystanders rush to help father-of-two after car ploughs into crowd in Sheffield

A father-of-two who died after a car ploughed into a crowd of people during a disturbance was a Good Samaritan who was trying to help a stranger, police have said. South Yorkshire Police have named the 46-year-old man who died in the incident in College Close, in the Burngreave area of Sheffield, as Christian Marriott. The force said Mr Marriott, who was known as Chris, was out walking with his wife and two young sons, aged eight and six, when he went to the aid of a woman he spotted lying unconscious in the street about 2pm on Wednesday. Officers believe he left his family and stopped to provide first aid to the woman before a car then collided with them both and several others. #sheffield #unitedkingdom #crash Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
