Scaffolding collapse

A south London street was blocked for several hours yesterday after a 10-metre scaffolding tower collapsed onto a car.

The structure in Cambridge Road, Battersea, was blown over by a strong gust of wind at about 7.30pm.

No-one was injured in the incident, but one man arriving home just as the scaffold came down had to be treated for shock.

He did not have to go to hospital.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police attended the scene to keep the area clear while crews from the London Fire Brigade made it safe.

A surveyor from Wandsworth Council was also called out.

The Health and Safety Executive has been informed
