An unlucky driver was left stranded at a Perth casino after a sinkhole partially swallowed their car.
The sinkhole, which opened up in the Crown Casino carpark yesterday morning, developed after heavy rain at the weekend, WA Today reports.
Nine News reporter Scott Cunningham said the bitumen had collapsed in two places, trapping the two left wheels of the driver's side.
"The bitumen has caved in, there's probably a metre-and-a-half drop I suppose where you can see that the sands just all cave in, around and underneath the wheels," he said.
"There's just one car that appears to be stuck there at the moment, security has fenced-off the area around it."
A photo posted by the reporter to social media showed the full extent of the damage.
