A woman in her 40s has sustained life-threatening injuries after a fairground ride malfunctioned in south London.

A man in his 40s is also being treated in hospital for 'potentially life-changing injuries', Metropolitan Police said. Four people were taken to hospital following the incident on Saturday evening, with two people - a man in his 50s and an 11-year-old girl - having been discharged. The Lambeth Country Show reopened on Sunday, but the rides remain cordoned off. Police said inquiries to establish the circumstances of what happened are ongoing.

Helen Hayes, the Labour parliamentary candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood, called for an 'urgent investigation' into the incident. She said on X on Saturday night: 'I'm shocked to learn of the failure of a fairground ride at Lambeth Country Show earlier this evening. 'My thoughts are with those who were injured and all who witnessed this horrific event. 'Thank you to the emergency services who attended. There must now be an urgent investigation.
