Road closure after '˜dangerous structure' falls onto car in Brighton
Scaffolding fell from a building, landing on a car, and unconfirmed reports from a witness said it was a near miss for a family who were walking along Cannon Place when the structure fell this afternoon (December 23).
A road closure is now in place while police and fire crews clear the scene, causing gridlock for Christmas shoppers using the Churchill Square car park.
