Chinese Traffic Officer Saves Motorists From Huge Sinkhole in Hangzhou City

This is the terrifying moment a traffic warden was lucky to escape with his life after a sinkhole opened up in the middle of a busy road. The warden, manning a busy intersection in Hangzhou, eastern China, spots a huge crack in the road surface and initially tries to wave commuters away from it, the footage shows. But he quickly gives up and decides traffic cones would be a better idea. Minutes after he deploys them, the road collapses and as the ground opens up. A wide shot, captured on CCTV and released by the state broadcaster, shows drivers and cyclists edging warily around the hole as the warden goes about his business. Sinkholes happen when the ground's surface layer collapses, which can be triggered by chemical corrosion. They can be hundreds of metres deep.
