Transport lorry falls into sinkhole that opens up road in China


A transport lorry fell into a sinkhole that opened up a road in southeastern China.

The CCTV video, captured in Fuzhou City in Jiangxi Province on June 2, shows a lorry transporting bricks changing lane to avoid a worker, suddenly dropping into a sinkhole after the road collapses beneath.

The worker also fell into the sinkhole but climbed out by himself immediately.

According to reports, the lorry changed its lane to try to avoid the man who was working on site.

A local citizen named Xu said the collapse might have been caused by the construction work on the road.

The case is being investigated, reports said.
