Another man in his 40s, who had been working on the building, was taken to hospital by the Great North Air Ambulance with life-threatening injuries. He remains in an 'extremely serious condition'. Church Brow remains closed for investigation work and motorists and pedestrians are being advised to avoid the area and find alternative routes.
