CCTV captured the moment the road suddenly crumbles underneath the huge truck as it drove through traffic in Mexico. Dramatic moment 30 tonne lorry swallowed into the ground after sewage explosion creates 20ft hole under busy road.
A 30-tonne lorry disappeared into a 10ft-deep hole after a sewage explosion created a massive cavern under a busy road.
CCTV captured the moment the road suddenly crumbles underneath the huge truck as it drove onto a crossroads in Madero city, Mexico.
The large vehicle first tips on its right side and then completely disappears into the newly formed hole.
The driver, Luis Mata Martinez, 54, was rushed to hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries.
Traffic police and road safety inspectors who sealed off the area and diverted traffic confirmed that the burst pipe had washed away the earth under the road, forming a huge cavity that eventually gave way.
