Images from the incident depicted a white SUV trapped in an eight-foot-deep hole that emerged on a street in central Seoul. Emergency personnel managed to rescue the 82-year-old male driver and a 76-year-old female passenger. Fortunately, no other individuals were injured during this event, as reported by the Seodaemun district fire station in Seoul. The conditions of those injured have not been disclosed yet. Traffic restrictions remained in place in the Seodaemun area as of Thursday evening while crews worked on road repairs and investigated what caused the sinkhole. Last year, South Korea\u2019s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport informed lawmakers that there had been at least 879 reported sinkholes across the country from 2019 until June 2023, with nearly half attributed to damaged sewer pipes. In a related incident last week, a 48-year-old tourist from India went missing after pavement collapsed beneath her in Malaysia&#8217;s capital, leading her to fall into a 26-foot-deep sinkhole; officials suggested she might have been carried away by an underground water current<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2333569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bd1e7afb48f9428eb299f6ada08ded79-scaled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[8151,8638,33627,33110,8557],"class_list":["post-2333568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-accident","tag-injuries","tag-road-safety","tag-sinkhole","tag-suv"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/bd1e7afb48f9428eb299f6ada08ded79-scaled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2333568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2333569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2333568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2333568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2333568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
