Child rushed to hospital after witnesses describe 'roof panel falling on her' at Central Milton Keynes shopping centre
Emergency services are at the city centre and a young girl has been rushed to hospital after witnesses describe a roof panel crashing down at the city centre.
Police, fire and ambulance crews were called to Midsummer Place, near The Point, earlier this afternoon.
Witnesses have described how part of a roof panel on one of the shopping centre’s outside structure came crashing down to the ground.
“It’s been a windy afternoon here so nobody knows whether it blew off.. It came crashing down and was really scary,” said one passer-by who managed to dodge the impact.
It is thought that the child was with her father and both were taken to hospital.
Part of the scene is still closed off to traffic and pedestrians and firefighters are making safe the structure.
