Another sign has collapsed in the centre of Tooting today, just yards away from the scene of a billboard collapse which pinned a woman to the ground.

This is the scene in Tooting tonight where a sign, which was situated above K&K Stationers, has crashed onto the path below, in Mitcham Road.
In the background of the photograph you can clearly see the wall of Age UK which was the scene of another sign collapse this morning.
The woman was pinned to the floor by the billboard thought to weigh at least a tonne. She was taken to St George's Hospital where she was treated for hip and leg injuries.
Witnesses said that the latest sign collapse took place at 9.40pm this evening and just missed a couple of people.
Graveney ward Councillors tonight called for safety checks on signs and billboards in Tooting after the second incident.
