Nasty looking 6/7 person pileup on Clapham road / Fentiman road. Black ice assumedly. Wheelie bin put in road by last faller promptly hit and removed from road in 5 minutes.
Aaaaand another 5 people have just hit it and fallen.
Watch out for it if you're coming north.
Edit: I don't know what best practice is here. Should I take out a bucket of hot / boiled water + salt and pour over patch or is there chance that could refreeze and make it worse. Obviously will be getting warmer as morning goes on too.
Edit 2: I poured a shit load of salt on it but it's still pretty dicey so if you see three wheelie bins in the road whilst north up to oval tube then make sure to steer clear
