A 30-year-old pedestrian was "lucky to live" today after a four-ton, 6-meter-wide digital billboard "(4,000kg)
She crashed just a few days after the installation.
The woman is believed to have been walking to work while on the phone, and after falling 20 feet from the wall, she was hit by a huge metal ad hoarding (6 metres)
During peak hours.
Witnesses at Tooting described hearing "thunderous noise" and the building "shook", marking the nail of the woman's body on the floor --
But her head is gone.
A man who lives near Micham Road and doesn't want to be named said he thinks it's a sky ad.
"They started hanging it up on Sunday night and I remember they had to close the road to do that," he said . ".
However, other residents of south London street said it had not opened yet, adding that they were concerned that it was not installed properly.
Clear Channel, the advertising company that installed the Commission, is now investigating 39 other digital logos launched at the end of last year because of concerns about their safety.
A few minutes before the emergency service arrived, people walked through the streets and houses to comfort the woman trapped on the floor.
The victim, who was seriously injured, also had bricks and cement on his body, and the victim remained awake and was taken to the nearby St. George's Hospital.
Paul Higgins, a 51-year-old local property developer, questioned the installation of the logo, which he believed had been completed on Monday (UK time)

My husband ran out when he heard a scream.

"Thank God for coming," she said. It's a miracle.
The sign fell on her hip.
She is still talking and is on the phone.
I think she called the ambulance and the police.
Clear Channel, the owner of the billboard, said they were investigating what was going on, but residents claimed the billboard was only installed a few days ago and they thought the wall could not bear the weight.
The situation of the woman has not yet been revealed, although she was conscious after the incident, and witnesses said that she was injured in her legs and hips and was "lucky to be alive ".
Jin Yaha told the Evening Standard: "There was thunderous noise and I saw the billboard fall down and people ran towards the area.
"It just fell off the sidewalk and there was debris and I saw someone crossing the road to check what was going on.
This is a small street leading to a main road, which is busy as you would expect.
Some ambulances and a firefighter responded to the incident, but it is believed that she was trapped under the board for some time.
Siobhan Slattery, a witness, wrote on Twitter: "The Lady is currently trapped under a billboard in Tuting --
She fell 15/20. Awful.
She explained what had happened and said, "I was at home, about 7: 35 a. m. and the whole apartment was chilling.
I looked out of the window and people started running towards the event.
"I went out and a lady was trapped underneath.
She seems to have nothing, but the billboard is on her.
Her body was covered by a wooden board, but she looked awake and her head was moving.
A British-year-old store volunteer said it was a "miracle" to be crushed by a freshly baked woman"
The installed billboard is still alive.
He said the board was installed only on Sunday by the advertising company Clear Channel, replacing the wooden ad hoarding that has existed for many years.
A clerk said, "This is a miracle. one died.
The two metal columns were pressed against the floor by the signboard, and the signboard of the street extended 45 degrees from below.
The streets around huge digital billboards are full of bricks and rubble.
Police blocked the area, while inspectors from Clear Channel investigated the scene.
Abby casipilai witnessed the aftermath of the collapsed billboard.
"As I walked by, I just heard that the billboard fell on a Lady," she said.
A spokesman for the ambulance service in London said that we received a call at 7: 00.
It is reported that an incident occurred on Mellison Road at the junction of Micham Road.
"We sent a lot of resources to the site, including a car, two duty station officials and our hazardous area response team.
It is reported that a woman in her 30 s was injured in her legs and hips and we treated her.
She was given priority to St George's Hospital.
It is not yet known why the billboards fall off the side of the building, but the owners made it clear that they were investigating.
A spokesman said: "We have ideas about the injured women.
"Our staff is on site and we have conducted a thorough investigation into the incident ".
The company called itself "one of the world's leading home advertising companies" on its website ". -
