A transport truck fell into a sinkhole that opened up underneath it in southern China's Anxi county on November 28.
The CCTV footage shows a truck suddenly tipping over and falling into a sinkhole after the road underneath it collapsed.
According to reports, the sinkhole was around ten-metres-long and five-metres-wide. Fortunately, the truck driver was not injured.
The collapsed area was reportedly not a part of the road before. Since there was a height difference between the shops on the roadside and the road, the shop owners used the concrete to fill it up by themselves.
A digger and two cranes were sent to lift the truck out of the sinkhole. The case is being investigated.
