A car and a scooter plunged into a pit that formed following heavy rain in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad. Incessant rain across Delhi-NCR since yesterday has led to flooded roads, queues of traffic and incidents of trees falling.
In Vasundhara, a section of the road near Atal Chowk caved in this morning amid continuous rainfall. This happened after soil from the nearby construction site slipped, causing the ground to give way, resulting in two vehicles plunging into the pit. No one was injured in the incident.
The visuals from the incident site show the two vehicles parked adjacent to the construction site along the road. Debris continues to fall over the two vehicles.
