Road cave-in kills 3 in Shenzhen last night

THE road in front of the gate of Huamao Industrial Park in Shenzhen, Guangzhou Province caved in last night, killing at least three people, local officials announced.

The accident occurred at 9:19pm yesterday. The city's emergency management office said three bodies had been found by 9am this morning. Rescuers saved one man from the sunken hole and he is in stable condition.

The office said the hole is six to seven meters in diameter and three to four meters in depth. It is still unclear how many people were swallowed by the hole. Some witnesses said they saw four to five people falling into the hole. One of them climbed out on his own.

Shenzhen reported a ground subsidence incident in a construction site on March 26. The deep hole killed a security guard.
