SCAFFOLDING fell  down into a busy road.

The temporary structure was blocking Magdalen Street, Colchester.

Police closed the road in both directions on Saturday night.

It is believed the structure is being used on the former bus depot which is being knocked down to make way for student accommodation.

After years of being derelict, the building is finally being pulled down after being plagued with vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
