A massive sinkhole opened up in Bangkok, swallowing a section of a major road and damaging three vehicles. No casualties were reported, but evacuations occurred near the affected area, including a nearby police station and hospital temporarily closing outpatient services. Authorities believe the sinkhole resulted from underground train station construction. Emergency crews are working to repair the roughly 160-foot-deep hole before anticipated heavy rain causes further damage. The incident caused disruption to traffic, electricity, and water services.
