In Yashio, Saitama prefecture, Japan, rescue efforts are complicated by ongoing water leaks, unstable ground, and gas pipe considerations after a sinkhole swallowed a truck and its driver. The sinkhole, measuring 10 meters wide and deep, opened suddenly on Tuesday, prompting urgent measures as water began flooding the site. Local residents were evacuated due to safety concerns, and attempts to rescue the 74-year-old driver were hampered by a second sinkhole that formed later. Rescue missions face critical challenges as the driver's well-being remains uncertain amid rising water levels.
Rescue workers are battling water leaks, gas pipes, and unstable ground as they attempt to reach a truck driver whose vehicle fell into a sinkhole.
The man was initially able to talk to emergency workers but did not respond later as water began to accumulate in the sinkhole.
