Oldham building falls; two people go to hospital
AI Generated (Gemini)
Local travel is affected as Oldham's King Street has closed, with police telling people to keep clear. A partial building collapse in Greater Manchester caused this disruption. Emergency services received calls about the terraced structure with scaffolding at about 12:40 GMT, after its front section gave way. Five occupants inside managed to exit safely, though two individuals needed hospital care afterwards.
