The resident is being treated in Chichester Road, Southend with police and medics on the scene.
It took place near the DIS – De Italian Sausage restaurant and it’s understood the wall fell from the flats above the restaurant.

Business bosses also say “several” residents have been hurt.
Southend High Street is also partly shut “due to safety reasons” and Valkyrie Road is blocked by a large tree in the storm.
