A road in Penzance had to close after scaffolding collapsed onto a parked car this afternoon.

Morrab Road was blocked both ways after the scaffolding collapsed at around 3.30pm on Wednesday.

The road has since been cleared and re-opened in both directions.

The indicent caused some damage to the car but no-one is believed to have been injured.

Lee James Palmer saw the incident and said on Twitter: "Oh my! Scaffolding collapse at the bottom of Morrab Road just off the promenade. Hope no one was hurt!"
