Twelve people were injured, two of them seriously, when a building collapsed in a suspected gas blast in Shrewsbury town centre.
The building on Bridge Street, thought to contain an empty shop and some flats, was cordoned off by police.
One woman was airlifted to hospital with burns to her head, neck and chest. One man suffered spinal injuries.
A West Mercia Police spokesman said the building was demolished in what was believed to have been a gas explosion.
An ambulance service spokesman said the top section of a block of flats had collapsed.
The explosion happened at a block of flats on the corner of Bridge Street and Smithfield Road, near Welsh Bridge just before 1130 GMT.
