A bus has become trapped in a metre-wide hole that appeared in the road in Weston-super-Mare.
A burst water main beneath the road is thought to have collapsed
The vehicle, operated by First, was driving on Milton Road in the seaside town when the accident happened.
A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said a burst water-main was to blame for the collapse.
Eyewitness Elizabeth Island said "the drain must have subsided" because the bus "cannot move and the road is now flooding".
She added the driver was "in distress" after the incident which has seen the road closed by the police.
Peter Butcher, a North Somerset Council engineer, said the bus "broke through the surface" after the water-main burst under the surface.
"Until we get this bus out of the way we're not going to be able to see what damage has been done," he added.
Nobody is thought to have been injured in the accident.
