A council truck was swallowed by a massive sink hole on Rhyl Promenade.
The incident happened this morning when the bin lorry plunged through the road surface.

The prom is still accessible for pedestrians and barriers have been placed around the hole.
A Denbighshire County Council spokesperson said: "The council is aware of an incident which involved one of its refuse collection vehicles on the promenade in Rhyl this morning. The area has been secured with barriers and there is still safe passage for pedestrians.
"We are currently awaiting the arrival of our recovery contractors to come and retrieve the vehicle. No physical injuries have been reported and engineers will be investigating the cause of the incident."
