India, March 26 -- A giant sinkhole that abruptly appeared in the middle of a busy road in South Korea's capital, Seoul, has claimed the life of a motorcycle. A video of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing the biker vanishing into the giant hole and a car in front of him narrowly escaping the harrowing fate.

A video captured on another car's dashcam shows the biker, identified as Park, reported The Chosun Daily, driving into the sinkhole that suddenly appeared. A car just in front of him bounced and missed the hole.

According to The Korea Times, a search team was launched soon after the incident. During the search operations, which continued overnight, the authorities found a mobile phone at 1:37 am.
