Sinkhole in China

The moment that a huge sinkhole appeared on a city street in China was captured on camera. The footage later showed a motorcyclist looking down at his phone and driving straight into the abyss.

Thankfully, the unobservant motorcyclist made it out of the hole with only minor injuries.

Difficult words: abyss (a deep hole), unobservant (not observing – paying attention, looking).
