60 flee as tunnel collapse puts flats in jeopardy

More than 60 people were evacuated from a Sydney block of flats and traffic on one of the city’s main roads was plunged into chaos after part of a new tunnel being built there collapsed.

The three-storey apartment block was evacuated in the early hours of the morning, local time, after the collapse opened up a 33 by 26ft hole. Television images showed huge cracks in the building and part of a wall crumbling into the hole. Nobody was injured.
