A father and his daughter narrowly escaped a potentially dangerous situation when they fell into a deep sinkhole on the road near the Gothatuwa Drainage Board today.
The incident occurred as they were making their way to school on a motorcycle. The father and daughter, along with their motorcycle, plunged into the water-filled ditch.
However, they were rescued by residents who sprung into action.
According to eyewitnesses, the sinkhole which measured a staggering 16 feet in depth, was the result of an underground pipe bursting on the road from Gothatuwa to Koswatte. (Buddika Kumarasiri)
