A road collapsed in Sinchon, western Seoul, leaving a vehicle turned over near Hyundai Department Store on Sunday afternoon.

According to the Seodaemun district police and the fire department, land subsidence caused a sewer-dredging vehicle to flip at around 2:20 p.m.

The hole in the road was measured to be three meters wide, one meter in length and depth.

There were no reports of injuries.

The road was temporarily blocked for repairs and safety checks.
