A terrifying accident unfolded in Chiang Mai, Thailand, when a road worker was buried alive after the ground suddenly gave way beneath him. The shocking collapse left the man trapped under heavy dirt and debris as stunned coworkers scrambled to save his life.
The incident was caught on video, showing the exact moment the edge of a freshly dug trench began to crumble. Despite frantic warnings from his colleagues, the worker was unable to escape in time and was swallowed by the collapsing road.
Within seconds, his team jumped into action. Using an excavator, shovels, and even their bare hands, they fought against the rain-soaked, heavy soil to dig him out. At one point, rescuers feared he was unconscious beneath the rubble… but against all odds, their desperate efforts paid off.
Miraculously, the man was pulled out alive and rushed to receive medical care. Officials said the crew had been working on pipe installations beneath the road when the collapse occurred. While the near-death experience could have easily turned fatal, it ended in a rare moment of relief… a close call with a fortunate outcome.
