A van is seen trapped in a large hole that suddenly opened up on a pavement in Baoding, northern China's Hebei Province. According to Ma Jidong, who works for a food supply company, he was making his early morning deliveries when he came across a section of road covered with water. He says: 'I wanted to bypass the water pond by driving through the footpath. However, as soon as I drove onto the footpath, my van suddenly leaned over with a loud collapsing sound, and was quickly sucked down.'
