This was the dramatic scene at a Tesco superstore after a roof collapsed under the weight of snow.
The building in Scunthorpe, north Lincolnshire, was full of shoppers when 30 square metres of the roof and front canopy buckled last night.
Fortunately, the collapse happened at the farthest point from the entrance and many customers only discovered the drama when staff evacuated the building.
Trolleys lie on their side in front of the lopsided roof of the Tesco superstore in Scunthorpe, north Lincolnshire, which collapsed under the weight of heavy snow
Firefighters were called to the shop but no one was injured. A Tesco spokesman said: 'There was nobody in the immediate area.
'As a temporary precaution, we have evacuated the store. We are working hard to fix the damaged section.'
