by Adriaan Alsema September 8, 2014

A garbage truck driver in the north of Colombia was injured on Sunday when a road collapsed, dragging his vehicle down a pothole almost the size of the truck.

The incident took place in Santa Marta, one of Colombia’s best-known tourist destinations on the Caribbean coast.
