A massive sinkhole suddenly appeared on Huynh Tan Phat Street in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday and further deepened on the following days.
The sinkhole, about 0.5 meter deep, opened up in front of the multi-purpose gym center of District 7 at 506 Huynh Tan Phat Street on Thursday.
Although the local residents placed tree branches before the hole for warning of danger, at least two cases of motorcyclists failed to avoid it.
By Friday morning, the sinkhole had expanded to about two meters long and deepened to nearly two meters, with several cracks surrounded, posing high risks of traffic accidents.
