Video: Sinkhole swallows car in Peru

Passers-by came to the aide of a Peruvian family when the car they were travelling in was swallowed by a giant sinkhole.

A sinkhole has swallowed up a car and its three passengers in the coastal city of Trujillo, central Peru.

The family was pulled to safety by passers-by after the five-metre wide by three-metre deep chasm opened up in the middle of the road.
