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.
