Locals are blaming the Water Authority for this. They say the authority dug the pit months ago to lay a pipeline. Even though the work was completed, they never bothered to fill the pit properly, which led to this accident. People are saying this is a classic case of official carelessness.
What's worse is that this is a very busy road. Hundreds of school students, commuters, and many vehicles use it every single day.
