Sinkhole swallows car in Seoul
An elderly couple has been taken to hospital after the car they were in fell into a sinkhole in South Korea on Thursday, local media reports have said.

The 76-year-old woman suffered a cardiac arrest and was given CPR, the JoongAng Daily said.

Her pulse returned later, according to the JoongAng Ilbo.

It is not clear what injuries, if any, the 82-year-old man suffered.

The couple's white Tivoli "rolled over sideways, crashing into the sinkhole", the Korea Herald said.

Pictures and video have been published of the vehicle lying on its side in the hole, which appeared to have opened up before they drove into it on a road in the Seodaemun district in western Seoul.

The SUV was later removed.
