Two men had lucky escape as car tumbled into sinkhole

Two men had a lucky escape as their car was swallowed by a sinkhole on a busy road in China.



As their vehicle dangled precariously over the edge of the hole the driver and his passenger managed to get out. Minutes later the tarmac gave way underneath, and the car rolled over into the hole, landing on its roof.

The hole, which appeared at the centre of a busy junction in Jinjang City in China’s eastern Fujan province, was caused by the collapse of sands beneath the road’s surface.

It had been created about half an hour before the incident, when a heavy truck ran over the weak spot, caused the tarmac to collapse.
