The problem arose on a road section where sewage communication installation works were completed about a month ago. As a result of ground subsidence, a pit reaching half a meter in depth formed on the surface.
Consequences for drivers
According to an eyewitness, vehicles are falling into the cavity one after another. Stuck vehicles are being rescued using tow trucks.

"Sewage pipes were laid on Abakanskaya Street between Kirkstrom and Novopavlovka literally a month ago. Since then, the ground has subsided by about half a meter. Cars fall into the pit, get stuck, and are difficult to pull out with tow trucks. From what I have observed, more than ten cars have already fallen in."
Despite the incident, at the time of reporting, traffic on the dangerous section was not restricted. The sinkhole site had not been cordoned off by official services.
