On Sunday, a large hole opened up on the Linke Wienzeile in Vienna-Meidling, and a tour bus got stuck in it. Reader reporter Erich W. sent photos to VIENNA.at

According to the spokesperson for the Vienna professional fire brigade, on September 21, a hole suddenly opened up under the road surface beneath a tour bus. This resulted in a lengthy operation and major traffic disruptions at the Längenfeldgasse subway station.

The fire brigade then lifted the bus with a special vehicle, after which the journey could be continued. Fortunately, there were no injuries in the accident.

According to wien.ORF.at, the hole was eventually temporarily filled with concrete. The exact cause is still being speculated. One possibility is water erosion, which could have occurred over several weeks. Eventually, the road surface may have given way under the weight of the tour bus.
