Eyewitness Thomas Ambrose said: "I was just driving along the road like I do every day when I noticed the scaffolding falling into the road.

"I was shocked when I then saw the people also fall into the road, but thankful that it didn’t happen two seconds later or they would have fallen under my car.

"The 2 guys seemed okay and got up right away.

"They then put the scaffolding back up and this is how they set it up after it falling the first time."
