They found that a big chunk of the road had sunk into the ground! And at the bottom of the pit lay their car--roof down and wheels up.

Was this mystery of the sunken road ever solved? It turned out that an abandoned mine shaftlay under the road. It had collapsed and taken the pavement with it. Layers of tunnels intersect be-neath the city of Swansea. The tunnels were built so many years ago that
