Workers were lucky to escape injury after a wall collapsed at a building site in Brisbane on Monday morning.
The incident happened on a site in Agnes St, Albion, about 11.30pm.
Aerial shots show a dug out pit filled with brown muddy water, with the walls supported by structural poles.
At least on section on Agnes St appears to have collapsed into the pit, with part of the street’s bitumen being taken down as well.
Scaffolding and portable fencing also appears to have fallen into the pit, but somehow workers escaped injury.
Agnes St was closed to traffic while crews worked to rectify the incident.
It was not yet clear what caused the incident.
