Most motorists were simply bemused at the sight, taking photos of the geological menace - but the fact the road collapsed in the middle of the night caused trouble for others.
At least one truck overturned on the side of the road as it approached the crevice.
And the warning tape strung across the road doesn't really seem rugged enough to hold back determined drivers - although, by last night, no one had been reported injured.

June tends to be the wettest time for this part of the country, with the southwest monsoon dumping nearly a fifth of the annual rainfall during the month.
But since no one has yet come up with a definitive explanation as to the appearance of the hole, officials continue to look into it.
