A man is fighting for life and another has been left injured after scaffolding collapsed in a busy north west London street.
Police and paramedics were called to Cricklewood Broadway just before 11.40am after reports two men had fallen from height.
London’s Air Ambulance also landed nearby and firefighters also attended.
Witnesses said a section of scaffolding had given way between the Crown pub and Iceland supermarket as the men worked on it.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said both men had been rushed to hospital, one in a life-threatening condition.
She said: “We believe this to be a workplace accident and the Health and Safety Executive will be informed.”
The London Fire Brigade confirmed they had been called to a scaffolding collapse from the first floor of a building.
A spokesman said the incident was over by 12.50pm.
