The vehicle sank the bonnet first as the rear part followed by. It was rather bizarre as the cars parked next to it were not affected at all.
The real reason behind the sinkhole was not ascertained until the city’s traffic police stepped in. The police officials said, “There was a well at the place. Some people covered it with a concrete slab and started parking cars over it. The incident occurred due to land subsidence following rain. No one is injured.”
