It’s like watching a disaster happening in slow motion, but this footage caught from a nearby traffic/surveillance camera on a road in the Russian city of Tyumen earlier today, occurred in real time.

We bet the driver in the black hatch who was caught right on the edge of the sinkhole as it started eating up the asphalt, definitely spit out a few sailor words directed to the…buffoon in the dark-colored crossover who wouldn’t budge to let him get out of harm’s way.

Russian media reported that fortunately, no one was hurt from the sinkhole that measured around 5 to 6 meters (16 to 20 feet) in diameter and about the same in depth.

Check out the scene in the video after the jump.
