Could have been a lot worse! But always pay attention to barricades!

A woman has been taken to hospital after falling into a sinkhole which opened up in the pavement outside a London cafe.

An eyewitness reported hearing a “loud scream” before the woman apparently disappeared into the hole.

Police and ambulance services were called to North End Road in Fulham at around 8.50am this morning to reports of a “pavement collapse”.

The scene was cordoned off and police confirmed a woman has been injured.

The ambulance service later said the woman, believed to be in her 40s, had been left “shaken” and taken to hospital as a precaution.
