A large sinkhole appeared in Essenwood and St Thomas roads in Durban late on Thursday afternoon, forcing authorities to close the roads.

Durban Rescue Care operations director Garrith Jamieson said paramedics were called to a "road collapse" on Thursday.

"Previously paramedics have attended to the same intersection for the same incident where a vehicle actually fell into the hole," said Jamieson."Fortunately this time no vehicle was involved. The road was quickly cordoned off and all the necessary authorities are on the scene to try and fix the situation."
