Pedestrian has lucky escape after church collapses into the street

This is the dramatic moment a former Victorian church collapsed onto the street - as punters below miraculously escaped injury.

Police and fire crews rushed to the scene after the building suddenly plummeted onto the pavement in Cleckheaton, West Yorks.

Footage shows the moment a passer-by notices tumbling masonry at the last moment - before the facade of the Grade II-listed building fell to the ground.

No-one was injured following the collapse at 10am this morning.

Pictures show large blocks of broken stone strewn on the pavement in Bradford Road.
