This is the horrific moment a South Korean motorcyclist plunged to his de.ath after a massive sinkhole gave way in a Seoul street, swallowing him
The 34-year-old man, named only as Park, was found 164 ft underground, around 17 hours the ground opened up in the Meyongil-dong district of the South Korean capital.
Terrifying footage filmed from the dashboard of a vehicle shows the moment the road collapses into the ground as a white car narrowly passes over it and makes it to safety.
But the video shows how the motorcyclist wasn’t so lucky, as he is seen disappearing into the hole.
‘He was found without a pulse and unconscious,’ an official Gangdong-gu Fire Department said during a briefing today.
Park was riding his motorcycle home when the ground caved in on Monday evening, local media reported.
Emergency responders immediately launched a search, but were unable to locate the man until the next morning.
According to emergency officer Kim Chang Seob, Park was found wearing a helmet and motorcycle boots, and that rescue workers found his Japanese-made motorcycle and mobile phone before reaching his body.
Kim added that rescuers had to use excavators, shovels and other equipment to find him.
The cause of the sinkhole was under investigation.
