Footage apparently shot by security cameras and posted on social media shows the truck gradually settling into the hole while people nearby scramble for safety.

A bus has plunged through a collapsed section of road in north-western China, killing at least six people, authorities said.

Some 1,000 emergency workers and 30 vehicles were sent to the site, the emergency management bureau in the city of Xining said. Footage apparently shot by security cameras and posted on social media showed the truck gradually settling into the hole while people nearby scrambled for safety. The collapse Monday afternoon left 16 people in the hospital. The bureau said the bus had been raised from the collapsed 80-square-metre section into which it had fallen.

Footage posted online showed the bus tipped halfway into the chasm that had opened up at a bus stop just outside a health clinic.
