A man was taken to hospital with head injuries after violent winds ripped a large advertising hoarding from the side of a building and brought it crashing down on top of him.

Stunned shoppers rushed to the injured man's aid after the solid wooden board was blown down in Fosse Road North, Leicester, at about 3.50pm yesterday.

The heavy 15ft x 30ft NHS sign, which advises people to see their GP if they are feeling "under the weather", was brought down by gales which reached 59mph.
