Incredible images were captured in Naples, where literally the earth opened and swallowed cars.
As Rai reports, within seconds the road gave way in the Vomero district with two cars plunging into the sinkhole that opened up.
One vehicle was passing and had two passengers

Fortunately they were freed slightly injured.
The other vehicle was parked while a tree ended up under the ground that gave way.
As established by the competent authorities, ground subsidence under asphalt due to sewer collapse and water main damage resulting in a large water leak that led to the subsidence of the ground.
