1 passenger hurt as bus gets stuck in road cave-in

THE rear wheel of a bus carrying more than 20 passengers got stuck in a hole when a road in Harbin suddenly caved in yesterday.

A 40-year-old female passenger on the bus, which was damaged, was injured and has been sent to hospital, China National Radio reported.

The accident occurred around noon at the crossroads of Daqingfu Road and Xusheng Street in the city's Xiangfang District, the report said. Police have cordoned off the surrounding area and authorities are investigating the cause.

Several shoddy urban infrastructure accidents have cast a bad light on Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

Over nine days in August, seven reported road cave-ins killed two people and injured two others after two vehicles fell in.

Netizens have been mocking the frequent cave-ins, which they say "may trap anyone.'
