00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.

00:04Derbyshire police officers investigating a serious crash over the weekend are appealing

00:08for witnesses to come forward after four people were hospitalised.

00:12Police were called to reports of a two-car collision on the A619 between the junction

00:17with the A618 and the De Rodes roundabout near Clown at around 9.45am on Saturday.

00:23The collision involved a Nissan Qashqai and VW Passat, with four people taken to hospital.

00:29The driver of the Passat, a man in his 60s, along with a passenger from the Qashqai, a

00:34girl aged 9, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

00:38The passenger of the Passat, a woman in her 60s, suffered potentially life-changing injuries,

00:43while the driver of the Qashqai, a woman in her 40s, was taken to hospital with serious

00:47injuries and remains in a serious condition.

00:51Officers investigating the collision are appealing for anyone who has not already spoken to the

00:55force to get in touch, particularly any drivers with dashcam footage that may have captured

00:59the collision or the moments leading up to it.

01:05A Derbyshire Open All Hour superfan has pleaded for the shop used in the iconic sitcom to

01:10be turned into a tourist attraction after it was put up for sale.

01:14Wayne Burton, who is 43, said the store, which was the setting for Arkwright Provisions in

01:18the series starring Ronnie Barker, was a British institution, and he said the shop, in Balby

01:24near Doncaster, which is set to be auctioned off for a guide price of £150,000, should

01:29be preserved for future generations of TV lovers.

01:32Wayne said,

01:33I want to save the shop from getting into the wrong hands and save it from either being

01:37knocked down, turned into a house or anything else that it should be.

01:40It's a British institution and would bring tourists in from all over.

01:45The show hit the screens in 1976 and covered the exploits of miserly shopkeeper Albert

01:50Arkwright, played by Ronnie Barker, and his assistant Granville, played by David Jason.
