A sinkhole on Thursday opened up in the middle of four-lane street in Seodaemun-gu District in Seoul and swallowed a car. The accident left the driver in his 80s seriously injured. The passenger in her 70s was also hurt.

The vehicle almost completely sank into the hole and it had fallen into a sinkhole about six meters wide, four meters long and 2.5 meters deep. The vehicle was towed right after the accident but two out of four lanes were closed for more than ten hours for investigations.
