A family escaped after a sinkhole suddenly opened up in front of
them, and swallowed their car. Father Alimu was driving his wife and three children home in Hetian, western
China when the road collapsed and their car fell in.
Unable to open his door, Alimu and his wife were forced to clamber into the
back and escape with their children. Over the next 30 minutes the sinkhole gradually got larger until the car
almost disappeared. It was eventually pulled out using a crane, covered in
mud.
Authorities said there used to be an air raid shelter below the road and heavy
rain caused the cave-in.
Similar case of sinkhole swallowing cars was earlier reported at Chicago, Russia and even a man playing golf.
