A massive sinkhole in Thailand swallowed the road near a hospital as officials rushed to contain it.

A video posted to social media captured the moment a sinkhole swallowed a car, electrical poles and the road on Wednesday, Sept. 24, in central Bangkok, disrupting utilities, according to officials. The sinkhole opened in front of the Vajira Hospital and a police station, halting traffic.

"The hospital has no problems, but we are worried about the police station," Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said. "That's still dangerous, and the public has been evacuated."

The sinkhole was 164 feet deep and covered an area of 9,687.52 square feet (900 square meters), according to Reuters.

The hospital announced it will not take new patients while the incident is ongoing.
