A steel slab covering a large hole on Sukhumvit Road collapsed under the weight of a truck in Bangkok on Wednesday, causing traffic congestion.

The road surface near Soi Sukhumvit 64/1 caved in as a heavy truck passed over it about 11.45am. Two people were injured and were rushed to a nearby hospital, police said.

Traffic on the three inbound lanes was brought to a halt, causing a traffic jam that extended back to Bang Na intersection.

Police advised motorists to avoid the area.
