The incident occurs while workmen from “Stabilised Pavements” are on site to address major subsidence affecting part of the road. According to reports, the road area has developed the sinkhole as a result of the subsidence, prompting the repair team to attend the location to fix the affected section. The sources state that the vehicle’s fall into the sinkhole prevents it from continuing normally at the site.
