Heavy rainfall in Busan created a huge sinkhole — 10 meters by 5 meters with a depth of 8 meters — engulfing two big trucks, early Saturday.

According to local authorities, the two trucks were trapped by the hole around 8:45 a.m. No was was injured. The city was hit by heavy rain since Friday.

Less than a month ago, many were shocked by a sinkhole engulfing an old couple in a car on a road in Seoul.
