Vehicle smashes into property in Stocksbridge causing major emergency response
A building has collapsed on a busy Sheffield road as one person is rushed to hospital
A building in Stocksbridge has collapsed after a vehicle crashed into the former appliance repair service.
The incident happened at the junction of Hole House Lane and Manchester Road on Monday afternoon.
The building, which was previously Cotterill Paul Television Video Radio Repairs, collapsed just before 2.30pm today (June 15).
A witness said it was still standing during their outward walk to Fox Valley, but had come down by the time they made the return journey, with fire crews and ambulances arriving shortly afterwards.
Photos from the scene show significant debris strewn across the pavement and road.
At least three fire engines and two ambulances could be seen at the incident, alongside other emergency service vehicles.
The building, which has stood derelict for some time, was recently sold.
A spokesperson from Yorkshire Ambulance Service said: “We received an emergency call at 2.30pm on Monday afternoon to report a collision between a vehicle and a building on Manchester Road, Stocksbridge.
“An ambulance, a team leader and the Hazardous Area Response Team were dispatched to the scene and one patient was conveyed to Northern General Hospital.”
Traffic on Manchester Road is not affected by the incident at the time of writing.
South Yorkshire Police and South Yorkshire Fire have been contacted for comment.
