A car and two motorcycles trapped in a large crack on the main road in Johar Town, Lahore.
According to a spokesperson from the traffic police, the pothole developed near Shaukat Khanum Hospital. This pit caused the vehicles to fall into it. The spokesperson reported that rescuers used a ladder to help the individuals trapped in the pit.
He added that fortunately everyone emerged from the hole unscathed.
Following the City Traffic Officer’s (CTO) directives, crews used a crane to remove the car and motorcycles. The pothole created significant congestion, leading to increased traffic on alternative routes.
To tackle this problem additional traffic officers were deployed to alleviate the gridlock.
Authorities are now addressing the pothole issues to prevent further incidents. They urge motorists to remain cautious in the area while repairs take place.
