The driver of a refuse collection truck partially swallowed by an apparent sinkhole in Cape Town was hospitalised for minor injuries on Monday.
Fire and rescue spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said they were alerted to the road collapse in Lavender Hill just after 9am.
Wynberg fire and rescue services dispatched a technical rescue vehicle with a crane to extract the trapped vehicle.
Water and sanitation MMC Zahid Badroodien said the cause of the incident was under investigation. However, there were no visible signs of damage to the surface of the road.
“The affected area has been cordoned off for safety reasons. The main priority at this stage is to ensure the area is structurally safe to recover the vehicle and then the necessary assessment of the area can be done to determine the cause of the incident, among which is a sewer collapse,” said Badroodien.
