A major road in Bradford district has been closed to traffic after a wall collapsed during high winds from Storm Debi and blocked the route.
Baildon Road, Shipley, was first closed both ways from A6038 Otley Road to Albert Street around 5am on Tuesday, November 14.
In a traffic update from INRIX sent just before 6am, the update said: “Poor weather has resulted in a wall collapsing and blocking the road.”
Traffic sections reported that road conditions had since returned to normal - but the route remains closed as of 3pm.
In a previous traffic update, the AA said: "Baildon Road both ways re-opened, traffic returned to normal, a collapsed wall from A6038 Otley Road to Albert Street. Poor weather has resulted in a wall collapsing and blocking the road."
Footage from the scene shows how the wall had tumbled down during the stormy weather.
An orange barrier is separating the pile of bricks from the main road, but cones have been put in place where the road meets Otley Road.
