New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a section of the road on the controversial BRT corridor in south Delhi caved in early Sunday morning, trapping a motorcycle and injuring the two persons riding it.

The incident took place close to the Moolchand flyover at around 1.30 am creating an eight-feet long crater on the road and sucking in a motorcycle that was passing over it.

Two persons were injured in the mishap and taken to the AIIMS trauma centre, a senior police official said.

An official of a contracting firm executing the project, who was present on the spot, said his team was examining what led to the sudden collapse of the road.
