Woman from India disappears down a sinkhole in Malaysia’s capital

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Police in Malaysia say that an Indian woman disappeared in Kuala Lumpur when pavement collapsed beneath her and she fell into a sinkhole, where she may have been swept away by an underground water current. The woman plunged into the 8-meter-deep (26-foot-deep) sinkhole in the Dang Wangi area of the Malaysian capital. The woman was identified as a 48-year-old tourist from India. Police say there was a strong water flow underground and that the woman may have been swept away. Rescuers have barricaded part of the area and used an excavator to clear debris in the sinkhole, but there has been no immediate sign of the victim.
