Police and fire officers can be seen walking around at the scene surveying the damage, as the road is locked down to traffic.

One bystander said: "We were just around the corner when we heard a loud bang and by the time we got round there emergency services were already arriving. The man was quickly put into a neck brace and looked in a pretty bad way."
