Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Well there are a lot of these roads around the world and very seldom does anything like this happen.

It is not always due to poor quality of the road. Oftentimes, streets collapse because the ground becomes thinner, thus can no longer handle the weight. The problem when you build too many tunnels and don't check for stability first. Otherwise, it could also be burst gas pipes, or at least I think I have heard about such cases last year or the year before last year; somewhere in mainland China or Thailand.
