In Bucharest, the capital of Romania, a mother and her 5-year-old son faced an unexpected danger while heading to kindergarten. The mother and child, who had just exited their vehicle, suddenly fell into a hole created by collapsing pavement.

The incident occurred on Orhideelor Street in Sector 6 of Bucharest. The 43-year-old mother fell into the hole along with her son when the ground they were walking on collapsed.

The driver of a nearby garbage truck immediately rushed to help and first rescued the child. Then, with the assistance of people nearby, the mother was also pulled out of the hole.

These terrifying moments were captured by a nearby security camera. The footage shows the mother panicking as she struggles to save her child.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries in the incident. Both the mother and child were checked for health, but there was no need for them to be hospitalized. However, the vehicle at the scene sustained significant damage.

Authorities have launched an investigation to determine why the road collapsed. Initial findings suggest that erosion caused by an infrastructure pipe, combined with the weight of the vehicles (the car and the garbage truck), may have led to the road's collapse.

This incident once again highlighted the importance of maintaining and regularly inspecting the city's infrastructure.
