VIDEO Sinkhole swallows five people on pavement in China

This is the shocking moment several people fell through the pavement after a huge sinkhole opened up beneath their feet.

The footage was captured on CCTV in Heilongjiang Province, China and shows the ground on Guxiang Avenue in Harbin collapsing as four people disappear.

Three people standing directly in the middle of where the hole formed, alongside a bus stop on a busy main road, are the first to drop and fall straight down.


According to local reports, the large sinkhole had an area of ten square metres and was two metres deep.
Four people, two male and two female, have subsequently been taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The area has since been cornered off and local authorities have started an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
