A landslide in Sweden causes a huge sinkhole on a highway and 3 are injured when cars crash

HELSINKI (AP) — A landslide in western Sweden has caused a huge sinkhole on a major highway to Norway, and three people were injured when their cars and a bus skidded off the road. Photos and video footage showed a 1,640-foot-wide sinkhole that had opened up early Saturday on the E6 highway, which runs from southern Sweden to Norway, not far from Sweden’s second largest city of Goteborg. Police say at least four cars and a bus skidded off the road and crashed, and three people were hospitalized. Several buildings and facilities were damaged, including a Burger King restaurant. The cause for the landslide isn’t immediately known. Swedish media say the area has seen substantial construction activities involving blasting and excavation work.
