A runner has been taken to hospital after being hit by a falling tree near the River Thames in south-west London.

Paramedics were called to the Thames Path by Barn Elms Boathouse, Barnes at about 07:20 BST where they treated the injured woman.

It is understood she was also helped by one of the coaches at the rowing club. The path remains partially closed while the tree is removed.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We sent an ambulance and treated a woman before taking her to hospital."
