A cement truck, telephone pole and police kiosk were swallowed into the ground during a terrifying road collapse. Three people were also injured when the busy road opened up in Anhui province, eastern China, on Monday afternoon, reported the People's Daily Online. 

The 1,000 square-feet sinkhole appeared in front of a department store in the city, which has closed temporarily. Emergency services quickly arrived on the scene and assessed the extent of the damage.

The cause of the collapse is still under investigation.

There have been a series of road collapses across China over recent years, leading to questions about the quality of road construction in the country.
