A motorcyclist had a lucky escape when a huge sinkhole suddenly opened up in the road in front of him.
Shocking footage shows the silver scooter riding along when the tarmac caved in beneath its wheels, leaving the driver - named as Bhopal Singh Medu - out of control.
The rear of the scooter fell into the pit first, before the rest of the scooter - and its hapless rider - followed.
Luckily for the man several people stopped to come to his aid, dragging Bhopal out of the pit by his hands.
Bhopal had been riding on Bhagat's Kothi-Basni road in Rajasthan, India, at the time of the accident.
He was left with injuries to his shoulder, knee and leg - but was able to return home.
The bike came off worse in the incident and was heavily damaged.
After receiving information about the accident, police reached the spot and diverted traffic.
The road leading from New Campus to Bhagat Ki Kothi station has been closed for the time being, due to the incident, and further traffic jams are to be expected.
Earlier this year, police were forced to close a residential road in south-east London when a huge sinkhole swallowed part of the street.
Dramatic pictures showed the 20ft crater spanned the width of the road which a motorcyclist is said to have plunged into.
He managed to climb out, although his bike was trapped at the bottom of the pit.
Resident Mick Stevens, 49 told, Mail Online: "A motorbike came speeding along and tried to jump over the hole. He must have thought he was Evel Knievel or something.
"He fell into it with this big bike, then got out and started shouting 'I need a taxi, I need a taxi' and then ran off.
"The police and fire brigade were here for hours."
Another resident, Rian Bond, said police warned neighbours that they might need to evacuate.
Police tape has been set up in the street to prevent people from falling into the pit.
It has yet to be confirmed whether any injuries have been reported as a result of last night's incident.
This recent incident comes after an ancient forest was discovered more than 600 feet underground in a sinkhole in China.
