This is the dramatic moment drivers were stuck either side of a road after a landslide caused a gaping hole to appear in the tarmac.
Stunned drivers looked at each across in shock as they stood by the gap found near the Costa del Sol area in Spain.
Filming the footage, one man showed he still retained his sense of humour by shouting ‘this one’s hollow’ across to another man in a raincoat.
The raging torrent of water he recorded n the distance showed why the motorists had been stopped from going any further.
Fortunately no-one was injured crossing the huge chasm that opened up when the part of the MA-4108 between Salares and Archez, collapsed.
Public transport in the area was also affected when the gap appeared on Friday.
Opposition councillors called on the governing right-wing PP party in the area to repair the damage “immediately” and claimed it had been “abandoned.”
But local reports said it could be at least a month before the problem is fixed and the road reopened to traffic.
Costa holidaymakers hoping to escape the bad weather in the UK this week have encountered high winds and heavy rain in southern Spain.
Areas like Marbella woke up to another downpour this yesterday morning after three days of heavy rain, although the sun emerged around midday.
