This is the moment a woman disappeared into a vehicle inspection pit - while looking at her car following an MOT.
The woman, who is not being named, was left shaken but largely unharmed following in the incident in London. Footage shows the woman walking behind a red Nissan Micra. She then appears not to realise the vehicle inspection pit is open - and plunges straight in.
MOT centre owner Shaqib, who did not want to give his surname, said: "She was there to get her car fixed. She was looking for one of my colleagues to have a word. The tumble happened so suddenly that she wasn't entirely sure what happened - despite apparently being swallowed by the earth."
"She knows all of the staff well and she just wanted to chat. The whole thing happened so randomly I don't think she even realised what had happened." Saqib says all involved took what happened with humour - and the woman had only minor bruises. He said: "She was hurt but she only had some minor bruises. It was just a funny thing. We were all laughing about it."
