BANGKOK: A part of a road in Bangkok collapsed on Wednesday, leaving a large sinkhole that disrupted traffic, damaged infrastructure and prompted evacuations in the surrounding area. There were no casualties but three vehicles were damaged by the collapse, said Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt. He said officials believe the collapse was caused by an ongoing construction of an underground train station. Videos of the moment of the collapse show the face of the road slowly sinking down, pulling down several electricity poles and damaging water pipes.

The 50 metre-deep crater prompted evacuations and road closures around the Vajira Hospital in the Thai capital.
