The hole in the road, which was five meters wide and three meters deep, was in the intersection of Guangqulu East extension and Yuqiaodonglu Road, according to a report by China Traffic Radio.

The collapse was possibly caused by a pipeline leak, and no casualties were reported.

The related department has sent a team to repair the damage.
