🇸🇬A sinkhole swallowed a car on the streets of Singapore.

🕳️ On July 26 at around 5:50 PM, a sudden sinkhole opened up on Tanjong Katong Road South in southern Singapore, swallowing a black Mazda driven by a woman.

🌧 The incident occurred after heavy rainfall, possibly caused by soil erosion and an overwhelmed drainage system — a phenomenon increasingly observed in the context of a changing climate.

Fortunately, the driver was unharmed. Emergency services responded swiftly, and the affected section of the road was closed.

⚠️ The formation of such sinkholes in major cities is a troubling sign of growing climate-related risks linked to extreme rainfall and aging urban infrastructure.
