A lorry has overturned in Wimbledon, with witnesses blaming icy roads for the accident.

The lorry was left lying on its side in St Mary's Road after it overturned at about 1pm.

Edward Foley, from nearby Winkworth estate agents, said its two occupants were "smiling and OK" having escaped from the vehicle.

Mr said: "They were probably surprised they were in one piece."

He said there was ice on the road where the accident happened, which other vehicles had been seen sliding on and was probably behind the incident.

Police are reported to have begun closing the road.
